Sumario:Anchusa aegyptiaca (L.) DC., a taxon considered native to the Eastern Mediterranean has been recognized in the province of Murcia (south-eastern Spain). Its identity was confirmed by a comparative macromorphological study between Spanish individuals and herbarium specimens from other countries, and a scanning electron microscope study of its floral characters. The presence of this species in the Eastern Mediterranean represents an important disjunction of great paleobiogeographic relevance.
