Halacsya is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Boraginaceae.[2] It only contains one species, Halacsya sendtneri (Boiss.) Dörfl. [1]
It is native to the Balkan Peninsula and is found in Albania, Greece and the former Yugoslavia.[1]
It has one known subspecies; Halacsya sendtneri subsp. devollensis F.K.Mey. (from Albania).[1]
The genus name of Halacsya is in honour of Eugen von Halácsy (1842–1913), an Austrian physician and botanist of Hungarian descent.[3] The Latin specific epithet of sendtneri refers to Otto Sendtner, (1813–1859) a German botanist and phytogeographer. Halacsya sendtneri was first described and published in Exsicc. (Herb. Norm.) Vol.44 on page 103, n.º 4364 in 1902.[1]
