A synonymic survey of Cichorieae genera accepted for the purpose of the Euro Med Project is presented. Combinations that are required in the genera Andryala, Crepis, Helminthotheca, Lactuca, Leontodon, Scorzonera, Sonchus and Tragopogon, but do not so far exist, are validated. Nomenclatural considerations are offered with regard to four taxa, the correct names of which are Crepis pontana, Leontodon saxatilis subsp. rothii, Picris rhagadioloides and Reichardia dichotoma.
