Annotation: The taxonomy of the predominantly autogamous taxa of the Draba [Erophila] verna group on the Ionian Islands needs further research, especially in respect to karyological data. Records of D. verna without further specification need revision of corresponding vouchers to associate them safely with any of the microspecies. According to characters of leaf indumentum (only few stellate hair) and fruit shape and size (rather short and broad) our Ionian records of D. verna can be related to var. boerhaavii, sometimes considered at specific rank (D. boerhaavii or Erophila spathulata). This taxon, however, cannot be discriminated from »typical« D. verna satisfactorily as variation in these characters is continuous. [2015-12-20]
