Annotation: The presence of Arrhenatherum elatius on the Ionian Islands needs evaluation. Old records of »Avena elatior« for Corfu are either wrong (Pieri 1814: 13, who misapplied this name to an annual grass), or doubtful (Mazziari 1834b: 674) because never confirmed since. However, there is the more recent though singular record of Arrhenatherum elatius subsp. bulbosum (Bolòs & al. 1996: 121) for Cephalonia, a notice which may have escaped the attention of Dimopoulos & al. 2013: 122, or was considered in need of revision, as in »Vascular Plants of Greece« the Ionian occurence of the species is mentioned only as doubtful.
