Annotation: The chromosome number of Ornithogalum exscapum is 2n = 18, determined on plant material from Corfu (Speta 1990: 116). What had been described as O. exscapum var. caulescens (Ronniger 1941: 103) needs revision of the type specimen (from Corfu fortress) to establish firmly its specific identity; similarly plants from Cephalonia reported by Heldreich as O.exscapum (Heldreich 1882: 70), later shifted to »O. tenuifolium« by Boissier (Boissier 1882: 219), most probably belong to O. collinum or another species.
