Genus
Comandra umbellata is the only species in the genus Comandra.

Family
In A revised classification of Santalales (Nickrent, D. L. et al. 2010) four new families were named that previously were included in the family Santalaceae. The new family Comandraceae would contain two genera: Geocaulon, with one species; and Comandra, with one species. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group in stated in APG IV (2016) that alterations of APG III must await future resolution. GRIN, GBIF, and NCBI place Comandra in the family Comandraceae. USDA PLANTS, ITIS, iNaturalist, Plants of the World Online, and World Flora Online place it in the family Santalaceae.
