- Adromischus inamoenus
- Adromischus maculatus
- Adromischus mammilaris
- Adromischus maximus
- Adromischus sphenophyllus
- Adromischus triflorus
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]
