editThe species of Adromischus are divided into five sections, based on their shared characteristics and relationships:[2][3]
Section 1 (Adromischus)
edit
Flowers bright green, tubular, with short, wide, triangular, recurved lobes. Anthers protrude from a flower tube. Indigenous mainly to the western, winter-rainfall regions of South Africa.

- Adromischus hemisphaericus
- Adromischus liebenbergii
- Adromischus montium-klinghardtii
- Adromischus roanianus
- Adromischus subdistichus
Section 2 (Boreali)
editGrooved, tubular flowers, with ovate-triangular, recurved lobes that are undulated on the margins. Anthers protrude from flower tube. Indigenous to the arid, summer-rainfall interior of Southern Africa.
Section 3 (Brevipedunculati)
editGrooved, funnel-shaped flowers with acuminate-triangular, widely spreading lobes, born on long stalks. Inflorescence branched. Usually spreading or stoloniferous plants.
- Adromischus caryophyllaceus

- Adromischus fallax
- Adromischus humilis
- Adromischus nanus
- Adromischus phillipsiae
Section 4 (Incisilobati)
edit
Tubular flowers with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes. Plants with short, compact, upright stems.

- Adromischus inamoenus
- Adromischus maculatus
- Adromischus mammilaris
- Adromischus maximus
- Adromischus sphenophyllus

Section 5 (Longipedunculati)
edit
Pale or pubescent inflorescence with elongated, lanceolate-triangular lobes.
- Adromischus cooperi
- Adromischus cristatus
- Adromischus leucophyllus
- Adromischus marianiae
- Adromischus marianiae var. hallii
- Adromischus marianiae var. immaculatus[10]

- Adromischus marianiae 'Alveolatus'[12]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Antidorcatum'[13]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Bryan Makin'[14]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Herrei'[15]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Little Spheroid'[16]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Red Mutation'[17]
- Adromischus marianiae 'Tanqua'[18]

So-called Adromischus oviforme specimens are actually Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii; Adromischus oviforme doesn't actually exist.
