Verbena halei, commonly known as Texas vervain, Texas verbena, or slender verbena, is a flowering plant in the vervain family, Verbenaceae. [2] [3] It is native to much of the southern United States and Mexico. Scattered populations have been found along the east coast ( North Carolina), and its range stretches south to Florida, west to Arizona, and throughout most of Mexico. [1] [2] [4] It is a perennial shrub and grows in thickets and woodland borders. Flowers bloom March to June. [5] It has been introduced to Australia, in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. [1] [6]
It was first formally named by American botanist John Kunkel Small in 1898. [7] It is sometimes considered a subspecies or variety of Verbena officinalis. [6]
