TLDR
The tribe Boragineae Bercht was regarded by Johnston (1924) as a natural group of the Boraginaceae, consisting of closely related genera showing reticulate variation of several significant characters, but one of the taxonomic problems concerns the delimitation of two Linnaean genera, Anchusa and Lycopsis.Abstract:
The tribe Boragineae Bercht. & J. Presl was regarded by Johnston (1924) as a natural group of the Boraginaceae, consisting of closely related genera showing reticulate variation of several significant characters (see also Smith, 1932). Past taxonomic treatments largely depended upon the relevance attributed by different authors to such characters. One of the taxonomic problems concerns the delimitation of two Linnaean genera, Anchusa and Lycopsis, which in the past had mostly been separated by the flower zygomorphy typical of Lycopsis. Despite general agreement on the species names that provide the types of these two generic names, neither species name appears to have yet been typified.read more

Anchusa L. and allied genera (Boraginaceae) in Italy
Federico Selvi,Massimo Bigazzi +1 more
TL;DR: A revision of the Italian entities of Anchusa and of the related genera Anchusella, Lycopsis, Cynoglottis, Hormuzakia and Pentaglottis was carried out in view of the poor systematic knowledge of some entities of the national flora.

Pollen morphology in the Boragineae ( Boraginaceae ) in relation to the taxonomy of the tribe
Massimo Bigazzi,Federico Selvi +1 more
TL;DR: Palynological data do not support a broad concept of the genus Anchusa, and point to the autonomy of the ‘satellite’ generaHormuzakia, Gastrocotyle, Phyllocara, Pentaglottis andCynoglottis.

Revision of genus Anchusa (Boraginaceae-Boragineae) in Greece
Federico Selvi,Massimo Bigazzi +1 more
TL;DR: A new species A. leucantha, endemic to a small area with ophiolitic outcrops in West Macedonia, is described and previously considered a Greek endemic, is shown to be a heterotypic synonym of A. sartorii.

Geographic differentiation of morphological traits and isozymes in the Mediterranean island endemic Anchusa crispa: implications for the conservation of a protected species
TL;DR: Quantitative variation in floral morphology thus agrees with the separation of two taxonomic entities on Sardinia and geographic variation in reproductive traits and isozymes has important ramifications for the sampling of populations for conservation programmes.

Anchusella, a new genus of boraginaceae from the central-eastern mediterranean
TL;DR: Karyological and eco-chorological aspects are consistent with morphological data in pointing to the autonomy of this genus, which appears characterized by autapomorphic, advanced traits.
