Asarina is a flowering plant genus of only one species, Asarina procumbens Mill. [2] the trailing snapdragon,[3] which is native to France and Spain and introduced in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary.[4] Originally placed in the Scrophulariaceae (figwort family), the genus has more recently been moved to the Plantaginaceae (plantain family).[5] Species from North America formerly placed in the genus Asarina are now placed in Holmgrenanthe, Lophospermum, Mabrya and Maurandya,[6] as well as Neogaerrhinum. Asarina is now regarded as exclusively an Old World genus.[7][8]
