About 16 species of trees and tall shrubs from the warmer parts of Amer., with usually toothed lvs. and handsome white or rosy fls. borne in a terminal panicle, or sometimes in the axils: sepals and petals 5; stamens numerous, the outer ones often without anthers; ovary 5- celled: caps, rather woody, loculicidally semi-5-valved. A species was intro. into Santa Barbara, some years ago, from Paraguay. It is probably L. divaricata, Mart., with lvs. oblong or elliptic to oblong-lanceolate, irregularly serrate, grayish beneath. Luehea is also spelled Luhea, and the genus of this name of the Verbenaceae is a S. African group referred to Stilbe.
