Abstract
This contribution to the Greek flora includes distribution extensions and taxonomic notes for some noteworthy plant taxa. New records for certain phytogeographical regions of Greece are presented for: Arum cylindraceum, Convolvulus pentapetaloides. Cruciata taurica, Galanthus reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis, Ilex aquifolium, Linum decumbens, Lythrum thymifolia, Sedum praesidis, Silene congesta and Trifolium diffusum. Allium karistanum, Helichrysum amorginum, Limonium antipaxorum and L. cephalonicum have been recorded for the first time on some islands. New populations of Allium maniaticum and A. ritsii, previously known only from their loci classici, were discovered in the Peloponnese. Valeriana alliariifolia, Silene auriculata subsp. auriculata and Symphytum creticum were rediscovered in central Evvia, confirming long-lost historical records from previous centuries. The presence of V. alliariifolia in Greece and Europe is confirmed for the first time since the 19th century.
Highlights
According to recently summarized data, Greece is characterized by high floristic richness encompassing 6620 vascular plant taxa with an endemism rate of ca. 22% (Dimopoulos et al 2013, 2016)
To facilitate the study of phytogeography, extensive presence-absence matrices have been constructed that take into consideration both literature records, recent descriptions of new taxa (e.g. Brullo & Erben 2016; Trigas et al 2017, 2018; Kypriotakis et al 2018; Trigas 2018; Goula & Constantinidis 2021), specimen data and photographic material which unequivocally provide evidence for specific taxa
During the course of the construction of these matrixes, it was realized that several records applying to members of the Greek flora, including rare, local, endemic and threatened plant taxa, were previously ignored or never published
Summary
According to recently summarized data, Greece is characterized by high floristic richness encompassing 6620 vascular plant taxa (species and subspecies) with an endemism rate of ca. 22% (Dimopoulos et al 2013, 2016). Caryophyllaceae Specimens data: 1) West Aegean Islands, Nomos Evvias, Eparchia Karistias, the island of Evvia, about 2.5 km W of Neochori, on the road to Manikia, SW-facing rocky slopes, on limestone, 270 m a.s.l., N 38°32.536’, E 24°01.380’; 22 August 2017; leg.
