Elisens divided M. geniculata into three subspecies, M. g. geniculata, M. g. flaviflora and M. g. lanata.[2] M. g. flaviflora was separated off as a full species, Mabrya flaviflora, by David A. Sutton in 1988.[3] M. g. lanata differs from the nominate subspecies in having its stems and leaves densely covered in wool-like hairs. It occurs only in the state of Sonora.[2]
