Euploca humilis (syn. Tournefortia humilis), the dwarf tournefortia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae.[2] It is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and most of Brazil.[1] Originally described by Linnaeus in 1753, molecular and morphological evidence led to its transfer from Tournefortia to Euploca in 2016.[3]
