Annotation: Taxonomic discrimination within the complex of Stachys cretica is notoriously difficult as already emphasized by Rechinger 1937 who pointed to transitions between the different races, here between the northwestern subsp. salviifolia and the eastern subsp. cretica that reaches to the southern Ionian Islands. Unspecified records from the Ionian region may partly belong to intermediates, but see distribution maps as verified for the subspecies. [2016-06-24]
