Verbenaceae

Verbenaceae  commonly known as the verbena family or vervain family, is a family of

mainly tropical flowering plants. It containstrees, shrubs and herbs notable

for heads, spikes, or clusters of small flowers, many of which have an aromatic smell.[2]

Recent phylogenetic studies[3] have shown that numerous genera traditionally classified

in Verbenaceae belong instead in Lamiaceae. The new narrowly circumscribed

Verbenaceae family includes some 35 genera and 1,200 species.[4][5] The mangrove

genus Avicennia, sometimes placed in Verbenaceae[6] or in its own family,

Avicenniaceae,[7] has rather confidently been placed in Acanthaceae.[4]

Economically important Verbenaceae include:

Lemon Verbena  (Aloysia triphylla), grown for aroma or flavoring

Verbenas  or vervains (Verbena), some used in herbalism, others grown in gardens
