Labiates (Lamiaceae) of Chile

The Labiate are represented by 42 species in Chile. In general, they do not predominate in the plant formations in which they appear. About 700 sheets from the herbaria CONC, M, MA, and SGO, are studied. A key for genera is included, as well as, for each of them, another for species. For each species, its scientific name and basyonym, synonyms, original citations, iconography, common names, description, data on the habitat, flowering period, distribution in the insular regions and territories of Chile, and the transcription of the labels of the studied material are indicated. The 42 resulting species correspond to 18 genera. Four species previously cited for Chile have been discarded. In addition, the adventitious plants and all those that have been cultivated as ornamentals have been included. The new combination Lepechinia chilensis (Molina) R. Morales, comb. nov. is presented.
