==Taxonomy== The genus was erected by Kerry A. Barringer in 1984 for a species originally described in 1828 in Russelia (now a synonym of Vahlia) and then transferred in 1893 to Anetanthus, in the family Gesneriaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies published from 2013 onwards have shown that it is a basal member of the family Linderniaceae, sister to Stemodiopsis.
