鞘蕊屬
唇形科的一属植物
鞘蕊屬（學名：Coleus），或作鞘蕊花屬，是一個一年生或多年生的草本或灌木植物的屬。部分物種屬於多肉植物，長有具肉質或塊狀的塊莖或塊根。 分佈於舊世界（東半球）的熱帶與亞熱帶。 有關鞘蕊屬、彩葉草屬及馬刺花屬三者的關係很混亂：前兩屬的物種曾經被併歸馬刺花屬，但結果使馬刺花屬在支序親緣分析之下變成了馬刺花亞族（Plectranthinae）的一個多系群。

現時最新的分類學處理重新建立鞘蕊屬，212個物種分別來自馬刺花屬、密穗花屬及排香草屬；Equilabium在系統發育研究支持下從馬刺花屬獨立出去成為一個屬[2]。
鞘蕊屬物種常被用作園藝植物而種植，當中尤以彩葉草最為常見。一方面，彩葉草的斑斕葉片使之成為一種受歡迎的園藝植物，而近年興起的生酮飲食，亦因為彩葉草的根部豐富的營養素而使之大受歡迎。彩葉草喜光，但不適宜太陽直射，而是非直射的光線：因為直射的太陽光會破壞葉片上的色素，使葉片顏色變得單一；所以在戶外時，彩葉草應完全遮光，只能照射日出時最柔和的日光[3]。
其他長有塊根的鞘蕊屬植物有被當作食糧而種植，計有Coleus esculentus、Coleus rotundifolius及Coleus maculosus subsp. edulis。
分類學
編輯鞘蕊屬最早由若昂·德理路於1790年描述。以形態學特徵為指導基礎，將它由馬刺花屬（首先由夏爾·萊里捷在1788年描述）獨立出來；其四條雄蕊融合在一起，而不是從基底起就已分開。1962年，約翰·肯尼斯·莫頓留意到雄蕊融合在一起的物種比過往所認知的其實更常見及廣泛分佈，所以把鞘蕊屬物種合併進馬刺花屬，而彩葉草屬（Solenostemon）及一些其他的屬仍維持區隔。[4]大多數的來源都跟隨莫頓進行鞘蕊屬的合併；有些保持彩葉草屬的獨立，但其他則將它跟着鞘蕊屬一起併入馬刺花屬。[2]
在2004年針對唇形科荊芥亞科羅勒族（Ocimeae）進行的初步研究表明，馬刺花亞族（Plectranthinae）為單系群，有兩個主要演化支：一個包含鞘蕊屬的模式種，並包含彩葉草屬；另一個包含馬刺花屬的模式種以及其他屬，因此廣義上馬刺花屬不是單系群。在2018年進行的更詳細研究得出類似的結論，並建議應重新確認鞘蕊屬（包含彩葉草屬），對馬刺花屬進行更狹義的定義，並建立一個新的屬Equilabium，主要來自熱帶非洲的前馬刺花屬物種演化支。2019年提供了實現此方法所需的許多新的雙名組合。[2]
支序親緣
編輯裴頓等人(2019)[2]基於其2018年的研究總結[5]，出版了馬刺花亞族（Plectranthinae）各屬的支序親緣圖。下圖中被裴頓等人接納並構成廣義的馬刺花屬的三個屬以黃色底顯示：
