17. Limonium doerfleri group.―The species in this group have a beautiful, elegant habit, eminently suitable for floriculture. In particular, the plants are glaucous and smooth, with spreading inflorescences, and few or no sterile branches. The leaves are broadly spathulate, and the spikelets mostly remotely arranged. This group is represented by L. doerfleri —occuring on several small islets of the Central Cyclades, L. sirinicum (endemic to Sikinos), and L. albomarginatum (restricted to a single location in the South Peloponnese).

Of the remaining four Limonium species recorded from Greece it should be noted that L. bellidifolium is taxonomically very isolated from the other taxa of Limonium section Limonium , while L. sinuatum and L. lobatum belong to Limonium subgenus Pteroclados . Finally, L. echioides , the only annual Limonium growing in Greece, belongs to Limonium section Schizhymenium (Boiss.) Bokhari (1972: 59) .
