'''Acanthaceae''' is a [[Family (biology)|family]] (the '''acanthus''' family) of [[dicotyledon]]ous [[flowering plant]]s containing almost 250 genera and about 2500 species. Most are [[Tropics|tropical]] [[Herbaceous plant|herbs]], [[shrub]]s, or twining vines; some are [[epiphytes]]. Only a few species are distributed in [[temperate]] regions.  The four main centres of distribution are [[Indonesia]] and [[Malaysia]], [[Africa]], [[Brazil]], and [[Central America]]. The representatives of the family can be found in nearly every [[Habitat (ecology)|habitat]], including dense or open [[forest]]s, [[scrubland]]s, wet fields and valleys, sea [[coast]] and marine areas, [[swamp]]s, and [[mangrove]] forests.
 
−
 
 
−
==Description==
 
−
Plants in this family have simple, opposite, [[decussate]]d [[leaf|leaves]] with entire (or sometimes toothed, lobed, or spiny) margins, and without [[stipule]]s. The leaves may contain [[cystolith]]s, [[calcium carbonate]] concretions, seen as streaks on the surface.
 
−
 
 
−
The [[flower]]s are perfect, [[Floral symmetry|zygomorphic]] to nearly [[Floral symmetry|actinomorphic]], and arranged in an [[inflorescence]] that is either a [[raceme|spike]], [[raceme]], or [[cyme (botany)|cyme]]. Typically, a colorful [[bract]] subtends each flower; in some species, the bract is large and showy. The [[Sepal|calyx]]  usually has four or five lobes; the [[Petal#Corolla|corolla]] tubular, two-lipped or five-lobed; [[stamen]]s number either two or four, arranged in pairs and inserted on the corolla, and the [[carpel|ovary]] is superior and bicarpellated, with axile [[placentation]].
 
−
 
 
−
The [[fruit]] is a two-celled [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]], [[Dehiscence (botany)|dehiscing]] somewhat explosively. In most species, the [[seed]]s are attached to a small, hooked stalk (a modified [[Ovule|funiculus]] called a [[jaculator]] or a retinaculum) that ejects them from the capsule.
 
−
 
 
−
A species well-known to [[temperate]] gardeners is bear's breeches (''[[Acanthus mollis]]'' ), a herbaceous [[perennial plant]] with big leaves and flower spikes up to 2 m tall. [[Tropics|Tropical]] genera familiar to gardeners include ''[[Thunbergia]]'' and ''[[Justicia]]''.
 
−
 
 
−
''[[Avicennia]]'', a genus of [[mangrove]] trees, usually placed in [[Verbenaceae]] or in its own family, [[Avicenniaceae]], is included in Acanthaceae by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] on the basis of [[Molecular phylogenetics|molecular phylogenetic]] studies that show it to be associated with this family.

==Medicinal uses==
 
−
Traditionally the most important part use in Acanthaceae is the leaves and they are used externally for wounds.
 
−
Some research has indicated that Acanthaceae possess [[wikt:antifungal|antifungal]], [[cytotoxic]], [[anti-inflammatory]], [[anti-pyretic]], [[antioxidant]], [[insecticidal]], [[hepatoprotective]], [[immunomodulatory]], [[anti- platelet aggregation]] and [[anti-viral potential]].<ref name="Awan, A.J. 2014 44–55">{{cite journal| last = Awan, A.J.| first = Aslam, M.S | title = FAMILY ACANTHACEAE AND GENUS APHELANDRA: ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL REVIEW.| journal = International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science | volume = 6| issue = 10| year = 2014| pages = 44–55}}</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
==Phytochemistry==
 
−
Phytochemical reports on family Acanthaceae are [[glycosides]], [[flavonoids]], [[benzonoids]], [[phenols|phenolic compounds]], [[naphthoquinone]] and [[triterpenoids]].<ref name="Awan, A.J. 2014 44–55"/>
