--><p><i>Cymbalaria</i> is characterized by personate, spurred corollas and lobed, reniform to orbiculate leaf blades with palmate venation. Generic delimitation has been consistent since R. Wettstein (1891–1893) treated <i>Cymbalaria</i> as distinct from <i>Linaria</i>. <i>Cymbalaria muralis</i> has been included in molecular phylogenetic analyses of Antirrhineae and Plantaginaceae. Using multiple plastid and nuclear molecular markers, <i>Cymbalaria</i> is strongly supported as a monophyletic clade sister to Asarina procumbens Miller (M. Ghebrehiwet et al. 2000; D. C. Albach et al. 2005; M. Fernández-Mazuecos et al. 2013; P. Carnicero et al. 2017). Several investigations support sister group status for Asarina Miller and <i>Cymbalaria</i> and the New World Maurandyinae clade represented by <i>Epixiphium</i>, Lophospermum D. Don, Maurandya Ortega, <i>Maurandella</i>, and Rhodochiton Zuccarini ex Otto & A. Dietrich.</p>
