--><p><i>Paulownia</i> has been allied with Bignoniaceae or Scrophulariaceae based on morphological, anatomical, and embryological evidence (D. H. Campbell 1930; J. E. Armstrong 1985). Molecular phylogenetic evidence showed that it does not belong with Bignoniaceae or Scrophulariaceae; instead it is an isolated lineage near Lamiaceae, Orobanchaceae, and Phrymaceae (R. G. Olmstead et al. 2001; B. Oxelman et al. 2005).</p>
