Scrophulariaceae
Scrophulariaceae is a family of flowering plants commonly called the figwort family.
The group includes snapdragons, foxgloves, and mullein—plants often with irregular, two-lipped flowers.
Recent genetic studies have reshuffled the family, moving many familiar members to other families, but the name persists in botanical and horticultural contexts.
