Several
Linaria species are cultivated as garden plants, and some are regarded as having a weedy habit. •
Common toadflax or
butter-and-eggs (
Linaria vulgaris), a European species which is widely introduced elsewhere and grows as a common weed in some areas. •
Broomleaf toadflax or
Dalmatian toadflax (
Linaria genistifolia, syn.
L. dalmatica), a native of southeast Europe that has become a weed in parts of North America. •
Purple toadflax (
Linaria purpurea), a species native to the
Mediterranean region grown as a
garden plant for its dark purple or pink flowers. The version with purple flowers can be mistaken for lavender. Spreads readily. •
Pale toadflax (
Linaria repens), a species from western Europe similar to
L. purpurea, but with paler flowers. •
Alpine toadflax (
Linaria alpina), purple flowers with orange (or purple) lobes in the center. •
Moroccan toadflax (
Linaria maroccana), the flower has five lobes arranged into two lips with a spur at the end, often purple with white. ==Species==
