Taxonomy
The genus Triaenophora was first erected by Hans Solereder in 1909,[ based on a section of the genus Rehmannia which Joseph Dalton Hooker had called " Trianophora" in 1891.][ It was initially placed in the family Scrophulariaceae.][ When that family was shown by molecular phylogenetic studies not to be Monophyly, and so was split up, Triaenophora was placed in Plantaginaceae,][ a placement still used by Plants of the World Online .][ Subsequent studies have shown that Triaenophora forms a clade with Rehmannia, basal to parasitic genera in the family Orobanchaceae.][

The placement in the tribe Rehmannieae of the family Orobanchaceae was accepted by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website, .[
