The Lamiaceae family is highly diverse in Mexico and it is distributed preferently in temperate zones, nevertheless it is possible find some genera such as Hyptis and Asterohyptis inhabitating dry and hot places. Lamiaceae is one of the most diverse families in the country, and there were no data about its diversity and endemism. In the current contribution a key to the genera of the family, their descriptions, commentaries about their richness and endemism, a map of the family distribution and a list of species in the country are presented; all the above based on a literature search, the revision of herbarium collections (CHAPA, CHIP, ENCB, FCME, IEB, MEXU, OAX, SERO y UAMIZ) and species lists available on the web (F, K, MO and US). In Mexico there are 32 native or naturalized for a long time genera and 591 species that represent 8.11% of the family, with an endemism of 65.82%.
