Triaenophora is a genus of flowering plants native to Temperate Asia. [2] Its family placement is not fully settled, as of March 2022: it may be placed in Orobanchaceae or Plantaginaceae.

Taxonomy

The genus Triaenophora was first erected by Hans Solereder in 1909, [1] based on a section of the genus Rehmannia which Joseph Dalton Hooker had called "Trianophora" in 1891. [3] It was initially placed in the family Scrophulariaceae. [1] When that family was shown by molecular phylogenetic studies not to be monophyletic, and so was split up, Triaenophora was placed in Plantaginaceae, [4] a placement still used by Plants of the World Online as of March 2022. [2] Subsequent studies have shown that Triaenophora forms a clade with Rehmannia, basal to parasitic genera in the family Orobanchaceae. [4] [5] While a 2009 study left Triaenophora unplaced as to family, [4] a 2019 study placed it in a more broadly circumscribed Orobanchaceae: [5]
