Species include:
*''[[Iresine angustifolia]]'' Euph.
*''[[Iresine argentata]]'' (Mart.) D. Dietr.
*''[[Iresine diffusa]]'' Humb. et Bonpl. ex Willd. (= ''Iresine celosia, Iresine celosioides, Iresine canescens, Iresine paniculata'' (L.) Kuntze'', Iresine elongata'')
** ''[[Iresine diffusa lindenii|Iresine diffusa f. lindenii]]'' (=''Iresine lindenii'')
*''[[Iresine elatior]]''
*''[[Iresine flavescens]]'' Humb. et Bonpl. ex Willd.
*''[[Iresine grandiflora]]''
*''[[Iresine herbstii]]'' Hook. ex Lindl.
*''[[Iresine heterophylla]]'' Standl.
*''[[Iresine keyensis]]''
*''[[Iresine leptoclada]]'' (Hook. f.) Henrickson et Sundberg
* ''[[Iresine macrophylla]]'' [[R.E.Fr.]] (= ''Cruzeta celosioides'' ([[L.]]) [[M.Gómez]], ''Celosia paniculata'' [[L.]], ''Iresine celosioides'' [[L.]])
* ''[[Iresine polymorpha]]'' [[Mart.]]
*''[[Iresine palmeri]]'' (S. Wats.) Standl.
*''[[Iresine rhizomatosa]]'' Standl.
