Annotation: Reichardt noted the occurrence of Equisetum arvense on all Ionian islands (»in omnibus insulis«) based on Mazziari collections (Reichardt 1861: 412). However, Mazziari’s information on collecting localities are notoriously unreliable (cf. Heldreich 1882: 10) and remain doubtful if not otherwise confirmed. The occurrence of E. arvense on Lefkada was verified only recently. The recent record from Zakynthos (Valli 2013: 575, as the only horsetail species within the National Marine Park) most probably should be referred to E. ramosissimum, a rather widespread species at this shore region.
