Lamiaceae
Lamiaceae or Labiatae, also known as the Mint family, is a family of
plants in about 210 genera and some 3,500 species. It has been considered closely related to
Verbenaceae but several recent phylogenetic studies have shown that numererous genera classified in Verbenaceae belong instead in Lamiaceae, whereas the core genera of Verbenaceae are not closely related to Lamiaceae and are more closely related to other members of the
Lamiales.
