Annotation: The floristic status of Triticum ventricosum on the Ionian Islands remains uncertain: in Europe the natural distribution area of this species does not extent further east than to Italy and the Kvarner islands (in N. Africa it reaches from Morocco to Egypt; see map in Slageren 1994: 396). The only record for Corfu (Borkowsky 1994: 146) refers to a ruderal habitat, that for Cephalonia (lacking comments on status) was found in a phytosociological table (Bolòs & al. 1996: 107) relating to therophytic grassland. Though accepted as native in »Vascular Plants of Greece« (Dimopoulos & al. 2013) further information is required. [2016-01-17]
