'''''Lindenbergia''''' is a genus of herbaceous plants in the order Lamiales and in the broomrape family Orobanchaceae. It is one of the few genera of the family which are not parasitic. It contains about 15 species found from northeast Africa across Asia to the Philippines,<ref name=POWO_60452214-2/> and is most abundant in India.<ref name="china">{{cite web | url = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=118623 | title = ''Lindenbergia'' Lehmann | work = Flora of China }}</ref>

==Taxonomy== The genus ''Lindenbergia'' was erected by Johann Lehmann in 1829.<ref name=IPNI_60452214-2/> It is named in honor of Johann Bernhard Wilhelm Lindenberg, a lawyer and bryologist from Germany.<ref>{{cite book | last=Burkhardt | first=Lotte | title=Verzeichnis eponymischer Pflanzennamen – Erweiterte Edition |trans-title=Index of Eponymic Plant Names – Extended Edition | publisher=Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin | year=2018 | isbn=978-3-946292-26-5 | url=https://doi.org/10.3372/epolist2018 |format=pdf |language=German |location=Berlin | doi=10.3372/epolist2018 | s2cid=187926901 |access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref> ''Lindenbergia'' was originally placed in the family Scrophulariaceae.<ref name=IPNI_60452214-2/> Molecular phylogenetic studies have caused that family to be split up, with many genera, including ''Lindenbergia'', placed in a greatly expanded family Orobanchaceae.<ref name=APGIV/><ref name=LiFengRandSchn19/>
