 Lamiaceae (Mint Family) Part 1
Lamiaceae has given us many herbs used in cooking and perfumery; Rosemary, French Lavender, Thyme, Majoram, Sage, and the garden mints are just a few.
Lamiaceae are distinctive, in a complex sort of way: The stems are square with opposite leaves, with each pair of leaves at right angles to the ones above and below it.
Lamiaceae is a large family, so variation is expected; some flowers are regular rather than lipped, some seem to have tube-like structures, but the stems, leaves, and general flower growth is fairly distinctive for all members of this family.

Suppose that Pedersen defined Lamiaceae as the name of the least inclusive clade containing Lamium purpureum Linnaeus 1753 and Congea tomentosa Roxburgh 1819, and Ramírez defined Lamiaceae as the name of the least inclusive clade containing Lamium purpureum Linnaeus 1753 and Symphorema involucratum Roxburgh 1798.
It may be desirable to emend a definition in order to permit the continued use of a widely known name that might otherwise have to be abandoned because the original phylogenetic definition did not accurately describe the widely understood concept of the clade.
Because Lamiaceae is a widely used name, it might be advantageous to permit its continued use as the name of a subclade of Lamiales by providing it with a new definition that does not include any species of Tetrachondra as a specifier, thereby creating a homonym (Lamiaceae).
