Genus of flowering plants in the borage family Boraginaceae From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lithodora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to southwestern Europe, southern Greece, Turkey and Algeria. They are low-growing, evergreen shrubs and subshrubs, producing 5-lobed blue or white flowers.[1] The Greek lithodora literally means "stone gift", referring to the plant's preferred rocky habitats.[2] The genus Glandora was split from Lithodora in 2008.[3]
