__NOTOC__
''"Frogfruit" redirects here. In colloquial use this often refers to Phyla nodiflora specifically.''Phyla is a genus of eustarid plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. The name is derived from the Greek word φυλή (phyle), meaning "tribe", and most likely refers to the tightly clustered flowers or the spreading, mat-like growth. Members of the genus are known generally as fogfruit or frogfruit. Species once classified in the genus Lippia may be known by the common name lippia. Some species, e.g. Aztec Sweet Herb ( P. dulcis), are used in cooking.
