Annotation: From Lefkada Ruta graveolens was reported as growing »in saxosis« (Baldacci 1894: 93). It remains unclear however if and where actually naturalized R. graveolens can be found on the Ionian Islands, and more recent information on plants escaped from cultivation are lacking. The record for Corfu (Pieri 1814: 52) is unconfirmed and Spreitzenhofer´s finding (Ostermeyer 1887: 656; Halácsy 1900: 311) turned out to be a misidentified specimen of R. chalepensis. [2016-11-11]
