The Mediterranean species of Plocama (incl. Putoria ) are revised and two species, the widespread P. calabrica , comb. nov., and P. brevifolia , comb. nov., in Morocco and Algeria, are recognized. The variation and circumscription of the species are discussed and distribution maps are provided. Several names are reduced to synonymy and seven lectotypes are designated.
