Plantaginaceae,theplantain family,is a large, diversefamilyof flowering plants in the orderLamialesthat includes common flowers such assnapdragonandfoxglove.It is unrelated to thebanana-like fruitalso called "plantain." In older classifications, Plantaginaceae was the only family of the orderPlantaginales,but numerous phylogenetic studies, summarized by theAngiosperm Phylogeny Group,have demonstrated that this taxon should be included withinLamiales.

Overview

[edit]

The plantain family as traditionally circumscribed consisted of only three genera:Bougueria,Littorella,andPlantago.However phylogenetic research has indicated that Plantaginaceaesensu stricto(in the strict sense) were nested withinScrophulariaceae(but forming a group that did not include the type genus of that family,Scrophularia). Although Veronicaceae (1782) is the oldest family name for this group, Plantaginaceae (1789) is a conserved name under theInternational Code of Botanical Nomenclature(ICBN) and thus has priority over any earlier family name for a family includingPlantago.Furthermore, the ICBN does not consider family names published before 1789 to be names eligible for conservation, thus ruling out Veronicaceae. The nameAntirrhinaceaehas been proposed for conservation over Plantaginaceae. In the meantime, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group has accepted the name Plantaginaceae. However, Olmstead (2003)[3]chose to use the name Veronicaceae, a later synonym.

A group of genera includingLinderniahas now beensegregated[4][5]as the familyLinderniaceae,[6]which is recognized by Hastonet al.2007 (also known as LAPG II) as "Post-APG II family".

Plantaginaceaesensu lato(in the broad sense) are a diverse,cosmopolitan family,occurring mostly in temperate zones. The group consists ofherbs,shrubsand also a fewaquatic plantswithroots(such as the genusCallitriche). As the family is so diverse, its circumscription is difficult to establish.[4]

Theleavesare spiral to opposite and simple to compound. Unusual in Lamiales is the absence of vertical partitions in the heads of theglandularhairs.

The structure and form of theflowersis variable. Some genera are4-merous(i.e., with 4sepalsand 4petals), such asAragoa(but this one has 5 sepals); others are 5- to 8-merous, such asSibthorpia.The flowers of most genera are polysymmetric. Thecorollais often two-lipped. In some taxa, theandroeciumis formed before the corolla.

Thefruitis a loculicidalcapsule,dehiscingthrough the partitions between the cells.[7]

The enlarged Plantaginaceae consists of 107 genera[8]and about 1,900 species.[9]The largest genus isVeronica,with about 450 species.Veronicaalso includes the generaHebe,ParahebeandSynthyris,formerly often treated as distinct. All genera of Plantaginaceae were formerly included inScrophulariaceaeexcept where otherwise stated.
