The Verbenaceae are a family, commonly known as the verbena family or vervain 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. Recent phylogenetic studies〔Cantino, P.D., Harley, R.M. & Wagstaff, S.J. 1992. Genera of Labiatae: status and classification. Pp. 511-522. In Harley, R.M. & Reynolds, T. (eds) ''Advances in Labiate Science.'' Richmond, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Angiosperm Phylogeny Website - Lamiales )〕〔Heywood, V.H., Brummitt, R.K., Culham, A. & Seberg, O. 2007: Flowering Plant Families of the World. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.〕 The mangrove genus ''Avicennia'', sometimes placed in the Verbenaceae or in its own family, Avicenniaceae, has rather confidently been placed in the Acanthaceae.〔 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 ==Genera== The genera in the new narrowly circumscribed family: * ''Acantholippia'' Griseb. * ''Aloysia'' Palau – beebrushes * ''Baillonia'' Bocq. * ''Bouchea'' Cham. * ''Burroughsia'' * ''Casselia'' Nees & Mart. * ''Chascanum'' E.Mey * ''Citharexylum'' L. – fiddlewoods * ''Coelocarpum'' Balf.f. * ''Diostea'' Miers * ''Dipyrena'' Hook. * ''Duranta'' L. * ''Glandularia'' J.F.Gmel. * ''Hierobotana'' Briq. * ''Junellia'' Moldenke * ''Lampayo'' F.Phil. ex Murillo * ''Lantana'' L. – shrub verbenas, lantanas * ''Lippia'' L. * ''Mulguraea'' N.O’Leary & P.Peralta * ''Nashia'' Millsp. * ''Neosparton'' Griseb. * ''Parodianthus'' Tronc. * ''Petrea'' L. – sandpaper vines * ''Phyla'' Lour. – fogfruits * ''Pitraea'' Turcz. * ''Priva'' Adans. * ''Recordia'' Moldenke * ''Rehdera'' Moldenke * ''Rhaphithamnus'' Miers * ''Stachytarpheta'' Vahl * ''Stylodon'' Raf. * ''Tamonea'' Aubl. * ''Ubochea'' * ''Urbania'' * ''Verbena'' L. – verbenas/vervains * ''Verbenoxylum'' Tronc. * ''Xeroaloysia'' Tronc. * ''Xolocotzia'' Miranda 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Verbenaceae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
