Iberodes linifolia (syn. Omphalodes linifolia), also known as Venus's navelwort, white-flower navelwort and petite bourrache, is an annual species of flowering plant native to the Iberian Peninsula and western France,[1] but has naturalized elsewhere in Europe, North Africa, North America and Chile.[2] The plant is small, growing to 30–40 cm (12–16 in) tall by 15 cm (6 in) wide, with blue-green foliage and tiny white or off-white flowers in Spring and Summer. It is distributed throughout dry open areas in full sun.
The Latin specific epithet linifolia means “with leaves like flax (Linum)”.[3]
Under the name Omphalodes linifolia, this plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4][5]
