Linaria dalmatica is a herbaceous, short-lived perennial plant in the family Plantaginaceae native to western Asia and southeastern Europe. As with related species, it was formerly included in the family Scrophulariaceae (figwort) family. Its common names include Balkan toadflax, broadleaf toadflax, and Dalmatian toadflax. The distribution of L. dalmatica to North America can be attributed to use as a fabric dye, folk remedies and as an ornamental plant. However, it is now classified as a weed in both Canada and the U.S.
