Anchusa description
See also Anchusa class corvette, a former class of Royal Navy ships* The genus Anchusa belongs to the tribe Boragineae of the borage family (Boraginaceae). It includes about 40 species. * These species grow in Europe, North Africa, South Africa and Western Asia. They are introduced in the United States. * They consist of annual plants, biennial plants and perennial plants with the general characteristics of the borage family.
