It can be found in species in the Lamiales order (in the family Scrophulariaceae, Verbascum phlomoides and Verbascum mallophorum, in the Bignoniaceae family, Pithecoctenium sp and Tynanthus panurensis, in the Orobanchaceae family, Cistanche sp and Orobanche rapum-genistae  and in the Buddlejaceae family Buddleja globosa or Buddleja cordata). It has also been isolated from Lantana camara (Verbenaceae). It can also be produced in plant cell cultures of Leucosceptrum sp (Lamiaceae) and Syringa sp (Oleaceae).

Verbascoside derivatives can be found in the Verbascum undulatum and notably apiosides in Verbascum sp.
