There are some conflicting views on the taxonomy of I. tinctoria (European woad) and I. indigotica (Chinese woad). I. indigotina was described for the first time by Fortune in 1846, and initially considered as a distinct species. Afterward, some taxonomists have classified it as a variety of I. tinctoria. Nowadays, I. indigotina is considered as a synonym of I. tinctoria [e.g. The Plant List, IPNI (International Plant Name Index), Tropicos]. (Speranzo et al. 2020). In this database, we use the names similarly as the authors.
