Annotation: The chromosome number of Aristolochia rotunda subsp. insularis 2n = 12 was determined with plants from the islet Stamfani (Strofades) (Constantinidis & Kamari 1994: 290). Old records of »A. rotunda« for Zakynthos (as e. g. Ronniger 1941: 75) most probably belong to this southern subspecies. On Lefkada and Cephalonia, we found both A. rotunda subsp. insularis as well as morphotypes intermediate between subsp. insularis and subsp. rotunda. These plants exhibited rootstocks with a diameter up to 6 cm but ending in elongated cylindrical appendices. [2019-10-09]
