Taxonomy Phylogeny In 2019, Paton et al. published a summary cladogram for the subtribe Plectranthinae, based on an earlier 2018 study. The formerly recognized monotypic genera Dauphinea, Madlabium and Perrierastrum were found to form a clade with three species placed in Capitanopsis, so were transferred to that genus. Capitanopsis was a sister of the newly established genus Equilabium.
Species Paton et al. (2018) recognize six species: Capitanopsis albida (Baker) Hedge Capitanopsis angustifolia (Moldenke) Capuron Capitanopsis brevilabra (Hedge) Mwany., A.J.Paton & Culham, syn. Dauphinea brevilabra Capitanopsis cloiselii S.Moore Capitanopsis magentea (Hedge) Mwany., A.J.Paton & Culham, syn. Madlabium magenteum Capitanopsis oreophila (Guillaumin) Mwany., A.J.Paton & Culham, syns. Plectanthus bipinnatus, Perrierastrum oreophilum
