A taxonomic revision of the Linaria verticillata group is presented here. Taxonomic, nomenclatural, morphological, geographical and ecological data are recorded for each taxon. Four taxa (one species with four subspecies) are recognized, and the status of some related taxa is discussed. In addition, some lectotypifications are made and a taxonomic key, descriptions and illustrations of all the accepted taxa are given. The following new combinations are proposed: L. verticillata ssp. anticaria (Boiss. & Reut.) L. Sáez & M.B. Crespo comb. & stat. nov ., L. verticillata ssp. cuartanensis (Degen & Hervier) L. Sáez & M.B. Crespo, comb. nov. , and L. verticillata ssp. lilacina (Lange) L. Sáez & M.B. Crespo, comb. & stat. nov. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 148 , 229–244.
