Genera

See text.

The Linderniaceae is a family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales, which consists of about 13 genera and 195 species from worldwide, mainly in neotropics.

In other classifications it used to be included within family Scrophulariaceae sensu lato or more recently in Plantaginaceae sensu lato, but several authors have demonstrated that this taxon should be segregated [1] [2] from those families, as Linderniaceae [3], and currently it has been recognized by Haston et al 2007, (also known as LAPG II) as "Post-APG II family".
