verbena
noun [ C or U ] uk/vɜːˈbiː.nə/ us/vɚˈbiː.nə/
马鞭草
a plant that has small colourful flowers growing in groups on its stems. There are many different types of verbena, some of which are used in perfumes, etc. or to make tea.
Plants with thin stems and leaves, such as tall verbena, fit in without blocking other plants. 茎和叶都比较细的植物比较合适，如高马鞭草，因为不会阻碍其他植物的生长。
