Ajugoideae is a subfamily of the family Lamiaceae and might contain the genera Prain, Ajuga L., Cymaria Benth., Garrettia H. R. Fletcher, Holocheila (Kud?) S. Chow. At least for some authors the subfamily Ajugoideae is the same as Teucrioideae.3]
The Subfamily Ajugoideae is a member of the Family Labiatae. Here is the complete "parentage" of Ajugoideae:
The Subfamily Ajugoideae is further organized into finer groupings including:
Aegiphila is a genus of plant in family Verbenaceae. [more]
Ajuga (), also known as Bugleweed, Ground pine or Carpet bugle, is a genus of about 40?50 species of annual and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the mint family Lamiaceae, with most species native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, but also two species in southeastern Australia. They grow to 5?50 cm tall, with opposite leaves. [more]
Alangium is a small genus of flowering plants. The genus is included either in a broad view of the dogwood family Cornaceae, or as the sole member of its own family Alangiaceae. Alangium has about 24 species, but some of the species boundaries are not entirely clear. The type species for Alangium is Alangium decapetalum, which is now treated as a subspecies of Alangium salviifolium. All of the species are shrubs or small trees, except the liana Alangium kwangsiense. A. chinense, A. platanifolium, and A. salviifolium are known in cultivation. [more]
Albuca is a genus of plants in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Most of the 100-140 species of bulbous plants in this genus are endemic to Southern Africa. [more]

Corolla tube included or slightly exserted, not hairy annulate inside, 2-lipped; upper lip 2-lobed, lobes similar to lateral lobes of lower lip; lower lip slightly larger, 3-lobed, middle lobe subcircular. Stamens 4, anterior 2 fertile, involute in bud, elongate after anthesis, exserted from sinus of upper lip, posterior 2 reduced to staminodes, minute, or almost absent; anthers 2-celled, cells divaricate, longitudinally dehiscent, apically confluent. Style unequally 2-cleft, posterior lobe short or inconspicuous. Nutlets obovoid triquetrous.[1] [more]
Caryopteris (bluebeard; Chinese: ) is a genus of 16 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae (formerly often placed in the family Verbenaceae), native to eastern and southern Asia. [more]
Clerodendrum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. Its common names include glorybower, bagflower and bleeding-heart. It is currently classified in the subfamily Ajugoideae, being one of several genera transferred from Verbenaceae to Lamiaceae in the 1990s, based on phylogenetic analysis of morphological and molecular data. [more]
Codonopsis is a genus of flowering plant within the family Campanulaceae. It is allied to and Leptocodon, and some authors suggest that Codonopsis should include these genera. Without them, Codonopsis includes 55 species endemic to East Asia. [more]

Cymes axillary, dichotomous or helicoid, pedunculate, lax; bracts subulate to oblanceolate, persistent, minute. Calyx erect, campanulate, inconspicuously 10-veined, suburceolate and conspicuously veined in fruit; teeth 5, equal, triangular, apically acute. Corolla white, tube cylindric, straight, slightly exserted, somewhat bearded annulate inside, 2-lipped; upper lip erect, slightly concave, entire; lower lip enlarged, spreading, 3-lobed, middle lobe largest. Stamens 4, exserted from upper lip of corolla, anterior 2 longer; anther cells 2, divaricate. Ovary apically hairy. Style unequally 2-cleft. Nutlets obovoid, conspicuously pitted, areole lateral and large.[2] [more]
Shrubs. Leaves opposite, simple or 3-lobed. Cymes usually axillary, with monochasial branches. Flowers minute. Calyx campanulate, minutely 5-dentate or subtruncate. Corolla 2-lipped, lower lip 3-lobed, upper lip usually 2-lobed, lobes entire. Stamens didynamous, shorter or longer than corolla. Ovary 2-locular when young, becoming 4-locular; ovules 1 per locule. Stigma 2-cleft. Fruiting calyx inflated. Schizocarp globose, reticulately ridged, breaking into 4 mericarps each enclosing 1 seed.[3] [more]
Oxera is a genus of in family Verbenaceae. [more]
Herbs, perennial. Rhizomes short, thick. Stems and twigs 4-angled, distinctly winged along edges. Leaves opposite, small, simple to deeply 3-lobed and almost palmate, usually early deciduous. Inflorescences axillary, simple cymes or reduced to 1 flower. Flowers usually of 2 kinds, open or cleistogamous. Calyx deeply 4- or 5-lobed, slightly enlarged in fruit, conspicuously 8-10-veined; lobes linear-lanceolate, equal or subequal. Stamens 4, didynamous. Ovary 4-locular; ovules 1 per locule. Stigma slightly 2-cleft. Open flowers with corolla longer than calyx, tube slender, 2-lipped, lower lip 3-lobed, upper lip erect and 2-lobed; stamens exserted; style longer than stamens. Cleistogamous flowers with corolla shorter than calyx; stamens and style shorter than corolla. Nutlets 4, obovate, puberulent, basally obscurely reticulate.[4] [more]
Teucrium is a genus of perennial plants, of the family Lamiaceae. Common names for this genus include germanders. These species are herbs, shrubs or subshrubs. They are most common in Mediterranean climates. [more]
The Foamflowers (Tiarella) are a popular genus of wildflower and garden plants. They belong to the Saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae). Some species are: [more]
Trichostema () is a genus of flowering plants in the Lamiaceae family, which has aromatic herbs or subshrubs. These plants are native to North America. In addition, any plant of this genus which has whorls of small blue flowers is called Blue curls. [more]
Herbs perennial, dioecious. Roots stout, obconic, slightly fleshy. Caudex sheathed by blackish remains of old petioles. Vegetative stems short with a rosette of leaves; flowering stems erect, stout, terete, striate, simple. Basal leaves petiole slender; leaf blade oblong-spatulate, base narrowed, apex obtuse to rounded, veins 3-5. Stem leaves sessile, smaller toward apex, base rounded and subamplexicaul, apex obtuse, veins 3-5. Inflorescences panicles of cymes with many small flowers, rounded in male plants, narrower and ± elongated in female plants. Flowers 4merous.
