There seems to be some difference of opinion on the authority of this species. Nattall (ex Torr. & Gray, l.c.) actually included 2 species, Hymenolobus divaricatus and Hymenolobus erectus under this genus, showing its close relationship with Capsella elliptica C.A. Mey. (quoting Hymenolobus procumbens Nutt., nom. nud. in its synonyms.). However, Nuttall's concept of this new genus did include Hymenolobus procumbens also, but this species was not validly published till O.E. Schulz (l.c.) adopted it basing it on Lepidium procumbens L.
