Verbenaceae belongs to the order Lamiales. It is also known as Verbena family or Vervain family.
The Verbenaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes herbs, shrubs, and small trees found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions, with some species extending into temperate zones. These plants typically grow in open woodlands, grasslands, and disturbed areas. Members of the family often have opposite leaves, square stems, and clusters of small tubular flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Many species are aromatic and cultivated for ornament, traditional medicine, or culinary use.
A well-known example is Aloysia citrodora, commonly called lemon verbena. Native to South America, it is a deciduous shrub grown for its strongly lemon-scented leaves, which are used in teas, desserts, and herbal remedies. The plant is valued for its calming properties and is also used in perfumes and skincare products.
