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
