Triaenophora
Genus of flowering plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Triaenophora is a genus of flowering plants native to Temperate Asia.[2] Molecular phylogenetic studies place it in the tribe Rehmannieae of the family Orobanchaceae, although as of February 2025[update], Plants of the World Online continued to place it in 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 February 2025[update].[2] Subsequent studies have shown that Triaenophora forms a clade with Rehmannia, basal to parasitic genera in the family Orobanchaceae.[4][5][6]
