Abstract
Bergmeier E.: New floristic records, confirmations and other phytogeographical notes from Crete (Greece). — Willdenowia 41: 167–177. — Online ISSN 1868-6397; © 2011 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.41.41120 (available via http//dx.doi.org/)The present list of phytogeographically noteworthy plants recorded between 2008 and 2010 in Crete (Kriti, Greece) includes herbarium specimen data with taxonomic, ecological and distributional annotations of 53 vascular plants and one bryophyte species. Twelve native taxa are new for Crete: Althenia orientalis, Anthyllis vulneraria subsp. pindicola, Carex riparia, Cerastium pumilum s.l., Drepanocladus aduncus, Elytrigia atherica, Erodium chium, Galium parisiense, Plantago coronopus s.str., P. crassifolia, P. crypsoides and P. phaeostoma. The latter two are new to the Greek territory and P. phaeostoma to Europe, too. The occurrence of the following species in Crete could be confirmed after many decades, for some after more than a century: Crypsis aculeata, Parapholis filiformis, Polycarpon alsinifolium and Turgenia latifolia. Two new combinations are introduced: Lomelosia sphaciotica subsp. decalvans and Schedonorus pluriflorus.

The seen populations included plants up to 2 m tall and their lifeform was probably biennial or short-lived perennial, unlike the other subspecies occurring in Crete, T. arvensis subsp. purpurea (Ten.) Hayek, which is an annual
Tall plants were found in two wet ruderal sites near Metamorfosi (35°20'50"N, 24°17'47"E, 8.6.2009, 5 m, together with Cirsium creticum d'Urv., Pulicaria dysenterica (L.) Bernh., Rumex conglomeratus Murray and R. crispus L.; the latter species is rare in Crete and was collected there as Bergmeier 09-160) and between Dramia and Episkopi

Kydonia: Omalos plateau, central part (35°20'N, 23°54'E), fallow-field margin, 1055 m, 7.6.2009, Bergmeier 09-149 (two plants found in the site). Apart from four historical localities in Crete (Rechinger 1943a: 130) and two mapped in Strid & Tan (1997), there are 6 collections and 2 observations of this annual species from all four Cretan provinces, including records in 1995 and 1996 near Vai
