马鞭草科(Verbenaceae)為脣形目下的一科,成員物種大多為热带植物。本科成員形態包含喬木、灌木,以及草本植物。本科物種单叶对生;花两性,花冠合瓣,合成钟状、杯状或筒状,也有二唇形的;果实为蒴果和核果。部分成員具有芳香氣味[2]。 近年來,系统发生学證據顯示許多曾被劃入马鞭草科的屬,應重新劃入唇形科[3]。現今本科共包含了35屬1,200餘種[4][5]。有的分类法将海榄雌属单独列为一科,或划入爵床科。 本科較具經濟價值的物種包含: Lemon verbena(英语:Lemon verbena) (Aloysia triphylla),具有芳香 马鞭草属:有時用於草藥醫學或觀賞 目录 1 下級屬別 2 已劃分至別科的屬別 2.1 爵床科 2.2 唇形科 2.3 木樨科 2.4 列當科 2.5 透骨草科 2.6 密穗草科 3 參考文獻 4 外部連結 下級屬別 金露花(Duranta erecta) 过江藤(Phyla nodiflora) Glandularia pulchella(英语:Glandularia pulchella) in Kerala 目前被劃分於該科下面的屬別有:[6] Acantholippia(西班牙语:Acantholippia) Griseb.

The Verbenaceae ( ), the verbena family or vervain family, is a family of mainly tropical flowering plants. It contains trees, shrubs, and herbs notable for heads, spikes, or clusters of small flowers, many of which have an aromatic smell.
The family Verbenaceae includes 32 genera and 800 species. Phylogenetic studies have shown that numerous genera traditionally classified in Verbenaceae belong instead in Lamiaceae. The mangrove genus Avicennia, sometimes placed in the Verbenaceae or in its own family, Avicenniaceae, has been placed in the Acanthaceae.
