Verbenaceae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
The Verbenaceae (Template:IPAc-en Script error: No such module "Respell".), the verbena family or vervain family, is a family of mainly tropical flowering plants. It contains trees, shrubs, and herbs notable for heads, spikes, or clusters of small flowers, many of which have an aromatic smell.[1]
The family Verbenaceae includes 32 genera and 800 species.[2] Phylogenetic studies[3] have shown that numerous genera traditionally classified in Verbenaceae belong instead in Lamiaceae. The mangrove genus Avicennia, sometimes placed in the Verbenaceae[4] or in its own family, Avicenniaceae,[5] has been placed in the Acanthaceae.[6]
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
