Annotation: The chromosome number of Scilla subnivalis is 2n = 18, this was confirmed by counts using plant material from Mt. Aenos of Cephalonia (Speta 1976: 304, as S. nivalis; Speta 1981: 57) as well as from Corfu (Speta verbatim, in 1988). As morphological discrimination between the species of the S. nivalis complex is difficult, especially betweeen the diploid S. subnivalis and the tetraploid S. reuteri, the (tentative) identification of the Kalamos population as Scilla subnivalis needs confirmation by chromosome counts (Gutermann & al. 2014: 169).
