Family Lythraceae
The Loosestrife Family (Lythraceae) does not include all
plants with the common name "Loosestrife". Some of these
with yellow flowers belong to the Primrose Family.
Loosestrifes in the family Lythraceae usually have
purple flowers. The leaves are simple with smooth
margins and the flowers are in the leaf axils or in terminal
spikes like those of the well-known Purple Loosestrife.
The family includes herbs, shrubs and trees.
