Coleus is a former genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. In recent classifications, the genus is no longer recognized, and the formerly included species are instead placed in the genus Plectranthus. [Citation needed] Because the type species, Coleus amboinicus (Plectranthus amboinicus) is now placed in Plectranthus, Coleus is considered as a synonym of Plectranthus. [citation needed] As of June 2020 Kew's Plants of the World Online lists both Coleus and Plectranthus as accepted genera.
