Patterns and Processes of American Amphitropical Plant Disjunctions: New Insights Drew, Bryan T [1], Sytsma, Ken [2]. Amphitropical disjunctions in New World Mints (Lamiaceae). The tribe Mentheae, with about 2300 species, contains about one third of the total species in Lamiaceae. The Mentheae is further subdivided into 5 subtribes, with the Menthinae possessing the greatest generic diversity with about 38 genera. Most of these 38 genera occur in the New World, apparently as a result of a single dispersal event from Europe to North America in the Late Miocene. Several genera within this New World clade of mints exhibit amphitropical disjunctions with varying patterns.
