Taxonomy
The genus Lindenbergia was erected by Johann Lehmann in 1829. It is named in honor of Johann Bernhard Wilhelm Lindenberg, a lawyer and bryologist from Germany. Lindenbergia was originally placed in the family Scrophulariaceae. Molecular phylogenetic studies have caused that family to be split up, with many genera, including Lindenbergia, placed in a greatly expanded family Orobanchaceae.
Lindenbergia has been placed in the tribe Lindenbergieae, one of two basal clades in the family Orobanchaceae that are not parasitic:
