Genus Phacelia has traditionally been included in family Hydrophyllaceae. Hydrophyllaceae is closely related to Boraginaceae and the two families are now known to be paraphyletic. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has solved this problem by including all of Hydrophyllaceae inside Boraginaceae. Other botanists have simply moved Phacelia from Hydrophyllaceae to Boraginaceae, leaving the rest of Hydrophyllaceae intact.
