Let a prime p divide the order of a finite real reflection group. We classify the reflection subgroups up to conjugacy that are minimal with respect to inclusion, subject to containing a p -Sylow subgroup. For Weyl groups, this is achieved by an algorithm inspired by the Borel–de Siebenthal algorithm. The cases where there is not a unique conjugacy class of reflection subgroups minimally containing the p -Sylow subgroups are the groups of type F4 when p=2 and I2(m) when m≥6 is even but not a power of 2 for each odd prime divisor p of m . The classification significantly reduces the cases required to describe the p -Sylow subgroups of finite real reflection groups.
