Annotation: The chromosome number of Bellevalia romana (2n = 8) was confirmed using plant material from Corfu (Bareka & al. 2008: 737). Occurrence on Cephalonia is corroborated, however, for only a single one (»Agrapidhies«; leg. Krendl, W) of the records reported in Phitos' catalogue, the other are to be referred to the rather common B. dubia (not mentioned at all in Phitos & Damboldt 1985: 147). Any recent record for Zakynthos is missing, and already Boissier 1882: 303 had referred a Margot specimen likewise to B. dubia. [2016-08-01]
