Systematics
The genus Colleteria was established in 2003 by renaming two species of Chione.[2] Colleteria is part of the subfamily Cinchonoideae but has not been assigned to a tribe. The genus Chione is currently placed within the tribe Hamelieae and Colleteria could be considered part of this tribe as well but no official decision has been made yet.[3]
