Annotation: The taxa of the variable Polygala nicaeënsis complex are still insufficiently investigated. The populations on Corfu differ from the taxon generally known as subsp. mediterranea, which is widespread on the Balkan peninsula, by corollas that do not or only scarcely exceed the calyx wings; they were described from Corfu as var. corcyrensis (Halácsy 1900: 147) and listed by Borkowsky erroneously as both, »P. comosa« and »P. vulgaris« (Borkowsky 1994: 109).
