Almiaceae
Almiaceae is a proposed family of flowering plants in the order Lamiales. This family was established to accommodate certain genera that were previously placed within the Verbenaceae family. The primary genera currently considered part of Almiaceae include *Almia*, *Dimorpha*, *Ghinia*, *Paravingia*, and *Pica* (formerly *Urbanzia*). The establishment of Almiaceae is based on molecular phylogenetic studies that have indicated these genera form a distinct evolutionary lineage separate from the core Verbenaceae.
The morphological characteristics of Almiaceae members can be diverse, but some common traits include herbaceous or
The taxonomic placement of Almiaceae remains an active area of research, and its recognition may vary among
