唇形科(学名:Lamiaceae),過去也稱作唇形花科(Labiatae)是双子叶植物纲中的一个科,大约有236个属7200余种[1],广泛分布于全球,是干旱地区的主要植被。唇形科的模式屬為野芝麻屬(Lamium)。 唇形科的植物一般都含有挥发性芳香油,可以提取香精,药用或烹饪做调料。许多品种被人工种植,不仅可以应用,有许多品种作为容易成活的鲜花种植。例如薄荷、迷迭香、披薩草、罗勒、藥用鼠尾草、马郁兰、薰衣草、紫苏、百里香、丹参、益母草、一串红等。本科还包含多种中药,如黄芩、夏枯草、藿香、廣藿香。这些植物一般都很容易用插枝繁殖。 唇形科植物由于其花瓣分为上下两部分,类似「唇」形,花萼五裂,花瓣有的五裂,有的合瓣形成二唇或合成花冠筒而得名。 目录 1 形态 2 属 3 系統分類學 4 参考文献 5 外部链接 形态 多年生或一年生草本。具有腺体,或各种单毛、具节毛或星状毛。 茎直立或匍匐状,常为4棱形;枝条对生,稀有轮生。 叶通常为单叶,全缘、浅裂或深裂,稀为复叶,大多对生,稀轮生或部分互生。 聚伞花序,3至更多花在节上形成轮伞花序,单歧聚伞花序,再组成顶生、腋生的总状、穗状或圆锥状复合花序,稀为头状花序。苞叶常在茎上向上过渡成苞片。花常为两性,两侧对称;钟状、管状或杯状花萼,通常5萼齿,具5、10、15脉,外面通常被毛或腺体,内面有或无毛环(果盖);管状花冠多为二唇形,裂片5;通常4雄蕊,通常前对长、后对较短,生于花冠管上,花药2室、纵裂,肉质花盘下位;雌蕊由2心皮形成,子房上位,花通常生于子房基部,柱头常2裂。 4枚小坚果或核果状;种子单生,直立,稀横生而皱曲,一般无胚乳。胚具有微肉质子叶。扁球形至长球形花粉常具3~6沟。 属 Acanthomintha 鳞果草属 Achyrospermum 圣蓟属 Acinos Acrotome Acrymia Aeollanthus 藿香属 Agastache 筋骨草属 Ajuga Ajugoides 菱叶元宝草属 Alajja Alvesia 水棘针属 Amethystea 排香草属 Anisochilus 广防风属 Anisomeles Antonina Asterohyptis Ballota 小冠熏属 Basilicum Becium Benguellia Blephilia 毛药花属 Bostrychanthera Bovonia Brazoria 二芒草属 Bystropogon 新风轮菜属 Calamintha Capitanopsis Capitanya 心叶石蚕属 Cardioteucris Catoferia 柠檬香属 Cedronella 鬃尾草属 Chaiturus 矮刺苏属 Chamaesphacos Chaunostoma 铃子香属 Chelonopsis Cleonia 肾茶属 Clerod

Lamiaceae or Labiatae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as mints, deadnettles, or sages. Many species in Lamiaceae are aromatic, and the family includes many widely used culinary herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as traditional medicines such as catnip, skullcap, bee balm, wild dagga, and oriental motherwort.
Some species are shrubs, trees (such as teak), or, rarely, vines, but most are herbaceous. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation through stem cuttings. Many species are cultivated for their aromatic leaves and can have additional edible parts. Some species are grown for seed, such as Salvia hispanica (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as Plectranthus edulis, P. esculentus, P. rotundifolius, and Stachys affinis (Chinese artichoke). Many are also grown ornamentally, notably coleus, Plectranthus, and Salvia species/hybrids.
