The Scrophulariaceae are a

actinomorphic) symmetry. The Scrophulariaceae have a cosmopolitan distribution, with the majority found in temperate areas, including tropical mountains. The family name is based on the name of the included genus Scrophularia L.

Taxonomy

In the past, it was treated as including about 275 genera and over 5,000 species, but its circumscription has been radically altered since numerous molecular

sensu lato
.

Fischer (2004) considered the family to consist of three subfamilies –

Benjaminia, Scoparia, Boelkea, Maeviella, and Braunblequetia
. Many of these were transferred to the family Plantaginaceae, in the tribe Gratioleae.

Uses

The family includes some

medicinal plants
