Annotation: The description of Galium ionicum (Krendl 1988: 105, here under the illegitimate name G. mixtum) was based on material from Corfu (above the Pandelimon pass), but the species was correctly renamed only in 2007 (Krendl & Vitek 2007: 265). It is exclusively known from the Ionian Islands, where it is fairly common. Combined characters of both, G. circae and G. malickyi, suggest a possible allotetraploid origin of the species (2n=44, counts performed on material from Corfu: Krendl 1988: 107). [2018-03-12]
