                                                                    This publication  comprises a regional treatment of the family Verben- 
aceae.  Its delimitation follows that corresponding to present-day phylogenetic findings, where several groups formerly included in Verbenaceae  have  now been  transferred to Lamiaceae. A  total of 20 species  in seven genera (representing four tribes) i.e., Duranta, Lantana, Lippia,  Phyla, Priva, Stachytarpheta  and Verbena, occur naturally within the three countries covered by this Flora. Three other genera  are known  only  from cultivation. The complicated situation concerning Lantana   cam ara is explained and a new subspecies  is described within that genus. User-friendly keys to all taxa are included, while two photo plates, 13 line drawings  and detailed  morphological  descriptions  provide additional 
support to  the identification process. For each species, information is gn their distribution, habitat, conservation status, uses and vernacular names. Representative specimens  are cited.
