''Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden'' 96(1):109-132. 〕 Thirty-one species are known. 〔 The type species for the genus is ''Kohautia senegalensis''. 〔''Kohautia'' In: Index Nominum Genericorum. In: Regnum Vegetabile (see ''External links'' below).〕 ''Kohautia'' was named by Adelbert von Chamisso and Diederich von Schlechtendal in 1829. 〔 Adelbert von Chamisso and Diederich von Schlechtendal. 1829. ''Linnaea'' 4:157. (see ''External links'' below) 〕 This generic name honors Franz Kohaut (d. 1822), a plant collector who worked in West Africa for the botanist Franz Sieber (1789-1844). 〔Umberto Quattrocchi. 2000.

ISBN 978-0-8493-2676-9.〕 ''Kohautia'' is diphyletic, consisting of two clades that are not sister taxa. The clade that contains the type species is related to ''Pentanopsis''. The other clade consists of one of the sections of ''Kohautia''. It is sister to ''Oldenlandia'' and will be renamed as a new genus. 〔 Jesper Kårehed, Inge Groeninckx, Steven Dessein, Timothy J.
