Legousia (Venus' looking-glass) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Campanulaceae, native to Europe. Species in the genus used to be placed under genus Specularia along with plants in genera Triodanis and Heterocodon as well as some species in genus Campanula. However, the division has been confirmed evolutionarily comprehensive by a Campanulaceae phylogeny based on DNA molecular evidence.^[1]
