Annotation: Allium ionicum, an endemic species of the Ionian Islands, was described based on plant material from Cephalonia,
Ithaca and Lefkada (Brullo & Tzanoudakis 1994: 53). They reported the chromosome number 2n = 16 for plants collected on Ithaca and Lefkada,
which was confirmed with material from Cephalonia (Liveri & al. 2015: 285).
Chilton 2002: 17 reported the occurence of the morphologically similar »A. rhodopeum« for Meganisi,
which was not confirmed since, but included in the »Vascular Plants of Greece« (Dimopoulos & al. 2013: 45).
So far, we have only observed Allium ionicum on Meganisi and tentatively refer the respective record to that species. Hence, the occurence of A. rhodopeum in
the Ionian region needs verification. [2017-05-12]
