Annotation: Alisma lanceolatum is the most common representative of the genus on the Ionian Islands, as already commented in respect to Corfu (Hansen 1982: 21). Probably most if not all past records for A. plantago-aquatica (for Corfu: Rikli & Rübel 1923: 176, Stephanides 1940: 231 and Stephanides 1948: 193, as A. plantago, Borkowsky 1994: 128; for Lefkada: Hofmann 1968: 234; for Cephalonia: Heldreich 1882: 72, as A. plantago; for Zakynthos: Margot & Reuter 1840: 21, as A. plantago) may belong here, though in »Vascular Plants of Greece« (Dimopoulos & al. 2013) both species are reported to occur on the Ionian Islands. Reports for A. gramineum (Stephanides 1940: 231 and Stephanides 1948: 135 as A. arcuatum, Borkowsky 1994: 128) are even more questionable, as Corfu is situated far outside the known range of this species. A critical revision of the respective vouchers is needed, as recent reliable reports are missing. [2016-01-28]
