Annotation: The south-eastern border of the distribution area of Ballota nigra subsp. meridionalis goes just across Albania and Rumelia (Patzak 1958). Previous records for the Ionian Islands (e.g. for Zakynthos: Margot & Reuter 1840: 11, for Lefkada: Hofmann 1968: 244, both as B. foetida) most probably refer to subsp. uncinata; the same is likely for records of B. nigra without further subspecific indication (for Corfu: Formánek 1895: 142, Borkowsky 1994: 95, 177). — The Supplement to »Vascular Plants of Greece« (Dimopoulos & al. 2016: 316) refers all Greek indications of subsp. uncinata to »subsp. ruderalis« without any comment. The latter name (described from S. Sweden; type from Gotland: Patzak 1958: 81), however, is generally treated as synonymous with B. nigra subsp. nigra of C. and EC. Europe, but not with the pronounced Mediterranean subsp. uncinata. [2016-11-23]
