72.薄荷属——Mentha Linn.
Linn. Sp. Pl. ed. 1: 576. 1753.
芳香多年生或稀为一年生草本,直立或上升,不分枝或多分枝。叶具柄或无柄,上部茎叶靠近花序者大都无柄或近无柄,叶片边缘具牙齿、锯齿或圆齿,先端通常锐尖或为钝形,基部楔形、圆形或心形;苞叶与叶相似,变小。轮伞花序稀2-6花,通常为多花密集,具梗或无梗;苞片披针形或线状钻形及线形,通常不显著;花梗明显。花两性或单性,雄性花有退化子房,雌性花有退化的短雄蕊,同株或异株,同株时常常不同性别的花序在不同的枝条上或同一花序上有不同性别的花。花萼钟形,漏斗形或管状钟形,10-13脉,萼齿5,相等或近3/2式二唇形,内面喉部无毛或具毛。花冠漏斗形,大都近于整齐或稍不整齐,冠筒通常不超出花萼,喉部稍膨大或前方呈囊状膨大,具毛或否,冠檐具4裂片,上裂片大都稍宽,全缘或先端微凹或2浅裂,其余3裂片等大,全缘。雄蕊4,近等大,叉开,直伸,大都明显从花冠伸出,也有不超出花冠筒,后对着生稍高于前对,花丝无毛,花药2室,室平行。花柱伸出,先端相等2浅裂。花盘平顶。小坚果卵形,干燥,无毛或稍具瘤,顶端钝,稀于顶端被毛。
由于多型性及种间杂交的关系,本属种数极不确切,保守的认为有15种左右,但近20-30年来,由于采取细分,据记载约有30种左右,广泛分布于北半球的温带地区,少数种见于南半球,在南半球1种见于非洲南部,1种见于南美及1种见于热带亚洲至澳大利亚。我国现今连栽培种(可能是杂交起源)在内比较确切的有12种,其中有6种为野生种。
