Phylogeny
These holoparasites
have traditionally been placed in their own family, but APG2 lumps
"Lennoaceae" with Boraginaceae, a family with which
they are clearly related as shown by both morphological and molecular
evidence. Boraginaceae s. lat. is currently unresolved at the
base of the euasterid I clade.
