Stomatanthes is a genus of about 15[1] species of plants primarily native to South America, but with three species native to Africa.[1][2]
Although Stomatanthes is classified in the subtribe Eupatoriinae in the influential 1987 classification of King and Robinson, subsequent research shows that it belongs elsewhere in the tribe Eupatorieae, as it is not closely related to Eupatorium or Eutrochium.[3]
