Flowers have a tubular calyx, and the corolla may be funnel- or bell-shaped, or . The genus name is from the Greek for "flax flower", since the flowers superficially resemble those of flax.

Species 26 species are accepted. * '' Linanthus arenicola'' * '' Linanthus bellus'' * '' Linanthus bernardinus'' * '' Linanthus bigelovii'' * '' Linanthus caespitosus'' * '' Linanthus californi ...
