Abstract
In connection with the critical revision of species of the genus Buglossoides Moench of Eastern Europe, Asia Minor and Central (Middle) Asia, herbarium materials in collections stored in the Herbariums of LE, MW, TASH, NSK, NS, TK, as well as virtual collections posted on the aggregator Global plants on JSTOR were studied. The revision of collections and new specimens made it possible to identify changes in the taxonomy and distribution of species of the genus Buglossoides, to describe a new species for science B.asiatica Ovczinnikova from Central Asia, and to cite new localities for three species: B.tenuiflora (L. f.) I.M. Johnst. is first recorded for Tajikistan, B.rochelii (Friv.) Stoyanov, Mátis et Sennikov is first recorded for Turkmenistan, and new locations of this species have been identified in Turkey and the Lower Volga Region: in the Volgograd, Voronezh and Saratov Regions. B. sibthorpiana (Griseb.) Czerep. is first recorded for the Lower Volga Region (Astrakhan Region) and the Republic of Dagestan. The summаry includes a nomenclatural citation for all taxa, citations of type specimens and new locations, information on ecological features and distribution, and a key to identifying the species. The description of B.asiatica includes a diagnosis, a table of diagnostic features of the new species and the species to which it was included, an illustration of the main features of the eremocarps, a photograph of the holotype and a range map.
