The Lamiaceae (/ˌleɪmiˈeɪsiˌaɪ/ or /ˌleɪmiˈeɪsiiː/) or Labiatae (the mint or deadnettle family) are a family of flowering plants. They have traditionally been considered closely related to Verbenaceae,; in the 1990s, phylogenetic studies suggested that many genera classified in Verbenaceae should be classified in the Lamiaceae or to other families in the order Lamiales.
