Taxonomic Comments
In a phylogenetic analysis of western North and South American Portulacaceae, Hershkovitz (2006) places this species in the genus Calyptridium and treats it as Calyptridium umbellatum. In contrast, Kartesz (1994) and FNA (2003, vol. 4) treat it as Cistanthe umbellata. Both Hershkovitz (2006) and FNA (2003, vol. 4) treat this species without varieties while Kartesz (1994) recognizes two varieties.
