• Type species: Leucomphalos capparideus Benth. ex Planch. Hooker's Icon. Pl. 4: t. 784. (1848)

Synonyms

• Heterotypic
  • Baphiastrum Harms Bot. Jahrb. Syst. 49: 435 (1913) when circumscribed as the monospecific Baphiastrum brachycarpum

Note: This circumscription is a view of Leucomphalos s.l. (Breteler, 1994), but this may not be acceptable to all authorities (Cardoso et al, 2015, POWO, 2024 & Tropicos, 2024). As Cardoso et al. note; accepting Leucomphalos s.s. or s.l. is "a matter of taste".
