'''''Valeriana''''' is a [[genus]] of [[flowering plantsplant]]s in the family [[Caprifoliaceae]],<ref>{{citation |titlename=''Valeriana'' |work=The Plant List (version 1.1) |url=http:POWO//www.theplantlist.org/1.1/browse/A/Caprifoliaceae/Valeriana/ |accessdate=2014-09-19 }}</ref> members of which may bybe commonly known as '''valerians'''. It contains many species, including the [[garden valerian]], ''Valeriana officinalis''. Some speciesSpecies are native to [[Europe]]all continents except Antarctica, otherswith tocenters of diversity in [[North AmericaEurasia]] and [[South America]] (especially in the [[Andes]]).
 
Some species are known as [[introduced species]] in other parts of the world, including ''[[Valeriana rubra]]'' in the western United States<ref>[http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=CERU2 USDA Plants Profile]</ref> and ''[[Valeriana macrosiphon]]'' in [[Western Australia]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/7366 |title=FloraBase Profile |access-date=2009-02-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110524211657/http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/7366 |archive-date=2011-05-24 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==Fossil record==▼
[[Fossil]] seeds of ''Valeriana sp,'' among them †''Valeriana pliocenica'', have been recovered from Late [[Miocene]] deposits of southern [[Ukraine]], from [[Pliocene]] deposits of south-eastern [[Belarus]] and Bashkortostan in central Russia.

==Species Taxonomy ==
The genus was named by [[Carl Linnaeus]] after the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] emperor [[Publius Licinius Valerianus]] who was said to use the plant as medicine.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ilieva |first1=Iliana |title=Names of botanical genera inspired by mythology |journal=GSC Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences |date=30 March 2021 |volume=14 |issue=3 |pages=8–18 |doi=10.30574/gscbps.2021.14.3.0050 |url=https://gsconlinepress.com/journals/gscbps/content/names-botanical-genera-inspired-mythology|doi-access=free }}</ref>{{rp|16}} The emperor's personal name comes from ''[[Valeria (gens)|Valeria]]'' and the Latin verb ''valeo'' which means "to be strong".<ref>{{OEtymD|valerian}}</ref><ref name="LD">{{cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0059%3Aentry%3Dvaleo |title= vălĕo |last1= Lewis |first1= Charlton T. |last2= Short |first2= Charles |dictionary= A Latin Dictionary |edition= |publisher= Perseus Digital Library |date = 1879 }}</ref>

32 previously recognized genera, including ''Centranthus'', ''Fedia'', and ''Plectritis'', are now considered synonyms of ''Valeriana''.<ref name="POWO"/> Species in the former genus ''Centranthus'' are unusual in having flowers with "handedness", that is, having neither radial nor bilateral symmetry.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Weberling|first1=Focko|title=Morphology of Flowers and Inflorescences|date=1992|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=0-521-25134-6|page=19|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-ZlOAAAAIAAJ&q=valerian+flower+symmetry&pg=PA19}}</ref>
 
== Botany ==
Species from this genus are herbaceous and have woody roots. They grow vines with fine hairs and trifoliolate, [[pinnation|pinnate]] leaves with serrated edges. They release a strong smell when they dry. Their flowers bloom from [[Cyme (botany)#cyme|cymes]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Acevedo-Rodríguez |first=Pedro |date=April 2020 |chapter=Caprifoliaceae |chapter-url=https://naturalhistory.si.edu/sites/default/files/media/file/caprifoliaceae.pdf |title=Guide to the Genera of Lianas and Climbing Plants of the Neotropics |publisher=[[National Museum of Natural History]], [[Smithsonian Institution]] }}</ref>
