The relationship of Oemleria within Rosaceae has vacillated traditionally between Maloideae (Pyreae here) and Amygdaloideae (Amygdaleae here); recent work by R. C. Evans and T. A. Dickinson (1999) has suggested that its relationship is nearer Amygdaloideae. Even though Oemleria has five carpels per flower, a characteristic of Maloideae, Evans and Dickinson believed that its floral ontogeny and mature morphology support its inclusion in Amygdaloideae. They stated that they found the development of the gynoecium in Oemleria to be similar in some ways to that of Maloideae. Molecular phylogenetic studies (D. R. Morgan et al. 1994; S. Lee and J. Wen 2001; D. Potter et al. 2002) have recovered a well-supported clade of Exochorda, Oemleria, and Prinsepia Royle. Potter et al. (2007) have shown that this clade, Osmaronieae Rydberg, belongs to Amygdaloideae (as newly circumscribed) and is sister to Kerrieae, within a grade of tribes located between Amygdaleae and Pyreae.
