Annotation: The Ionian populations of Alcea biennis correspond to the taxon distinguished as A. cretica, whose taxonomic position must still be clarified. Corresponding plants from Zakynthos were described as Althaea meonantha (Link 1835: 586). — A field observation from Paxos is doubtful and may in fact refer to A. rosea. [2016-09-22]
