Annotation: Indigenous occurrence of Asparagus officinalis so far is known only from Corfu and Lefkada; other reports may refer to plants cultivated or escaped. A record from Ithaca (Kaufmann 2008: 3) was given as A. tenuifolius, an identification most probably erroneous; it may be included here. [2016-04-04]
