Taxonomy

Phylogeny

edit

In 2019, Paton et al. published a summary cladogram for the subtribe Plectranthinae,[3] based on an earlier 2018 study.[1] The formerly recognized monotypic genera Dauphinea, Madlabium and Perrierastrum were found to form a clade with three species placed in Capitanopsis, so were transferred to that genus. Capitanopsis was a sister of the newly established genus Equilabium.[1]
