Genus of flowering plants
Betonica is a genus of the plants in the family Lamiaceae.
"Betonica" was until recently usually included in the genus "Stachys" as a subgenus "Stachys" subg. "Betonica" (L.) Bhattacharjee, but was separated at genus rank from "Stachys" when a detailed morphological examination showed clear consistent differences in both the foliage and flowers, valid at a higher rank than the previous treatment as just a subgenus. This has been confirmed by genetic study, which shows "Betonica" is separate from "Stachys" and more closely related to the hemp-nettles "Galeopsis".
