The genus contains eight accepted species:[1]

  • Chasmatophyllum braunsii

  • Chasmatophyllum musculinum
  • Chasmatophyllum nelli
  • Chasmatophyllum rouxii
  • Chasmatophyllum stanleyi
  • Chasmatophyllum verdoorniae
  • Chasmatophyllum willowmorense

The Red List of South African plants at the South African National Biodiversity Institute lists the conservation status of musculinum, nelli, stanleyi, and verdoorniae as being of least concern. The population of willowmorense is restricted in area, but stable, and there is insufficient information to assess the remaining three species.[2]
