Abstract
Anchusa leucantha, previously considered an ophiolithic endemic restricted to a small area in north central Greece, is shown to be a heterotypic synonym of A. officinalis var. ochroleuca. It occurs in southeastern Albania, the southern part of F.Y.R. Macedonia and northern Greece. We treat this taxon as part of the polymorphic A. officinalis, for which A. officinalis subsp. leucantha is proposed as a new combination.
