Verbena is a genus of annual and perennial herbaceous or semi-woody flowering plants with about 250 species in the family Verbenaceae. The majority of the species are native to the New World from Canada south to southern Chile, but some are also native in the Old World, mainly in Europe including Common Vervain and V. supina. The leaves of Verbana are usually opposite, simple, and in many species hairy, often densely so. The flowers are small, with five petals, and borne in dense spikes. Typically some shade of blue, they may also be white, pink, or purple, especially in cultivars. Verbana has longstanding use in herbalism and folk medicine, usually as a herbal tea. Among others effects, it may act as a galactagogue and possibly sex steroid analogue. It is one of the original 38 Bach flower remedies, prescribed against over-enthusiasm. The plants are also sometimes used as abortifacient.
Verbana is also known as Verbenas, Purpletop Vervain, Verbena bonariensis and Vervain.
