Taxon discussion

Saxifraga sibirica is rare in Greece, known only from its insular Aegean part (the Islands of Samothraki, Lesvos, Ikaria and Samos; Strid 2016b). The above-cited collections from two adjacent prefectures of Thraki (Fig. 23 ) are new records for the NE floristic region and continental part of Greece as a whole (Fig. 3 ).
