In other classifications it used to be included within familyScrophulariaceaesensu lato or more recently[when?] inPlantaginaceaesensu lato, but several authors have demonstrated that this taxon should besegregated[3][4] from those families, as Linderniaceae,[5] and it has been recognized by LAPG II[6] andAPG III.[1]Recently a phylogeny has been published[7] and two new Brazilian generaCatimbaua andIsabelcristinia were recently[when?] added to the family.[8] Studies on the family limits of Linderniaceae are pending.
