Tuberaria lignosa is a species of perennial rock-rose native to the western Mediterranean region.

Tuberaria lignosa is a perennial herb, often woody towards the base.

[2] Tuberaria lignosa is found around the western Mediterranean Basin, in parts of Italy, France, mainland Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and the Canary Islands.

In 1827, Robert Sweet published a description of "Helianthemum lignosum", but this name was invalid as a junior synonym of H. tuberaria.

In 1922, Gonçalo Sampaio introduced the combination Tuberaria lignosa, which is the name generally used today.
