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]

Ajuga
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
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]

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.
