Family Verbenaceae
Shrubs
or trees
, sometimes climbing
shrubs, rarely herbs. Indumentum of simple
, stellate
, and/or other complex
hairs
. Leaves opposite or rarely whorled
, without stipules, simple or 3-foliolate, less often palmately [or pinnately] compound
. Inflorescences terminal
or axillary
, racemose, cymose
, spicate
, or thyrses
. Flowers bisexual
or polygamous by abortion
, zygomorphic or rarely actinomorphic
. Calyx persistent
. Corolla 4- or 5- or more lobed
; lobes
usually spreading
, aestivation
overlapping. Fertile
stamens inserted
on corolla tube
, alternate with lobes; filaments
free
; anthers
dorsifixed
, 1- or 2-locular, dehiscing by longitudinal
slits or sometimes a circular pore
. Ovary entire or 4-grooved, 2-8-locular; ovules 1 or 2 per locule, erect
or pendulous. Style terminal, simple, entire or 2-cleft. Fruit a drupe or indehiscent capsule, sometimes breaking up into nutlets
. Seeds (1 or) 2-4, endosperm usually absent, seed coat
thin; embryo straight, as long as seed; radicle short, inferior.
Some 91 genera and ca.
2000 species: primarily tropical
and subtropical
, 20 genera and 182 species in China.
The classification of Verbenaceae is in a state of flux, especially regarding its relationship
to Lamiaceae. There is evidence to suggest a significant division between members
of subfamily
Verbenoideae, genera 1-5 in this account, and the remaining genera, including genera 6-20, which for convenience are here referred to as subfamily Viticoideae s.l. The latter are more closely allied to each other and to genera traditionally kept within Lamiaceae (including genera 1-8 in this Flora
) . Avicennia is often placed in a family
of its own, but its affinities are clearly with Viticoideae, especially genera 17-19 in this account which have traditionally been placed in a separate subfamily, Symphorematoideae.[1]
Genus Lantana
Shrubs
, climbing
, aromatic
, pubescent
or glabrous
. Branches 4-angled, sometimes prickly. Leaves petiolate
; leaf blade

, crenate
, often rugose
. Inflorescences dense capitula, pedunculate
; bracts exceeding calyx. Calyx small, membranous, truncate
or sinuate
dentate
. Corolla nearly actinomorphic
or slightly 2-lipped, tube
slender; lobes
4 or 5, spreading
. Stamens 4, didynamous
, included
. Ovary 2-locular. Style shorter than corolla tube; stigma obliquely subcapitate
. Drupes with 2 1-seeded pyrenes.
About 150 species: tropical
and subtropical
America, one species naturalized in China.
