Coldenia, named after C. Colden, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Coldeniaceae. It is the only genus in the family.[2] As of December 2025[update], the sole accepted species is Coldenia procumbens.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit | edit source]The genus was traditionally included in the borage family, Boraginaceae sensu lato.[4] It was assigned to the subfamily Ehretioideae, but molecular data revealed it to be more closely related to the genus Cordia, so that other authors placed in Cordioideae.[5] Subsequently, it was placed in its own family, Coldeniaceae, within the Boraginales order, by the Boraginales Working Group.[6] As of December 2025[update], this placement is accepted by World Flora Online,[3] but not by Plants of the World Online which retains it in a broadly circumscribed Boraginaceae.[7]
