Genera
Caryopteris
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
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.

Faradaya
Glossocarya
Hosea
Huxleya
Karomia
Oxera
Oxera is a genus of in family Verbenaceae. [more]
Peronema
Petraeovitex
Rotheca
Rubiteucris
Schnabelia
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.[1] [more]
Tetraclea
Trichostema
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]
At least 24 species and subspecies belong to the Genus Trichostema.
