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.
Economically important Verbenaceae include:
33 genera are accepted.Tribes and genera in the family and their estimated species numbers:
Casselieae (Schauer) Tronc.
Citharexyleae Briq.
Duranteae Bent.
Lantaneae Endl.
