Sanango is a genus of flowering plants containing a single species, Sanango racemosum. [2] The genus was originally placed in family Loganiaceae [3] but has since been variously placed in Scrophulariaceae, [4] Gesneriaceae [5] and Buddlejaceae. [6] As of 2016 it is considered to be the sister genus to the family Gesneriaceae as previously defined, and the family was tentatively enlarged to include the genus, pending a revision of the families included in Lamiales. [7] It has been placed as the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Sanangoideae. [1]
