Lamiaceae – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
Lamiaceae
The
Lamiaceae ( or ) or
Labiatae (the
mint or
deadnettle family) are a
family of
flowering plants. They have traditionally been considered closely related to
Verbenaceae, but in the 1990s,
phylogenetic studies suggested that many
genera classified in
Verbenaceae belong instead in Lamiaceae. The currently accepted version of Verbenaceae may not be more closely related to Lamiaceae than some of the other families in the
order Lamiales. It is not yet known which of the families in Lamiales is closest to Lamiaceae.
