The
nameLasianthus has been misapplied to Lisianthius (also spelled as "Lisianthus" or "Lisyanthus"[12]), a genus in
Gentianaceae. Lasianthus alatusAublet is a misspelling of Lisyanthus alatus Aublet, a species now placed in Chelonanthus.
Saprosma and Amaracarpus were traditionally thought to be close to Lasianthus. Saprosma is
polyphyletic, with only part of it related to Lasianthus.[17]Amaracarpus is close to Psychotria. The African genera Batopedina and Dirichletia have also been suggested as relatives of Lasianthus.
In 2012, a revision of the Malesian species divided Lasianthus into 3
sections, based on the following type species: L. section Stipulares (Lasianthus stipularis), L. section Lasianthus (Lasianthus cyanocarpus), and L. section Nudiflorae (Lasianthus blumeanus).[3] They did not recognize L. section Pedunculatae (Lasianthus biermanii), which some previous authors had recognized. They considered it to be indistinguishable from L. section Lasianthus.
