The genus was originally placed in family Loganiaceae and has since been variously placed in Buddlejaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Gesneriaceae, or in its own family "'Peltantheraceae " '.

Phylogenetic studies have demonstrated that this broadly defined Loganiaceae was a polyphyletic assemblage, and numerous genera have been removed from Loganiaceae to other families ( sometimes in other orders ), e . g ., Gentianaceae, Gelsemiaceae, Plocospermataceae, Tetrachondraceae, Buddlejaceae, and Gesneriaceae.

"' Loganin "'is one of the best-known of the iridoid glycosides . It is named for the Loganiaceae, having first been isolated from the seeds of a member of that plant family, namely those of " Strychnos nux-vomica ".

There are about 50 species in the genus, native mainly to tropical Africa, including Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands . " Anthocleista " was once placed in the family Loganiaceae, but more recent molecular, morphological, and phytochemical evidence has placed the group well within the Gentianaceae.
