Discussion

Species 1.

Dicranostegia is sometimes classified as Cordylanthus subg. Dicranostegia (A. Gray) T. I. Chuang & Heckard. D. C. Tank et al. (2009) have shown that Dicranostegia is closely related to Chloropyron and that both genera form a clade that is sister to Castilleja and Triphysaria.

Like Chloropyron and Cordylanthus, Dicranostegia has closed, club-shaped flowers with a spathelike calyx. Flowers are subtended by a single, elongate bracteole and pinnate bracts. Dicranostegia differs in having pinnately lobed leaves, deeply two-parted calyces that are about half as long as the corollas, and stamens with pollen sacs held apart on relatively short connectives.
