Taxon discussion

Scattered in the mountains of north and central Greece, Asphodeline taurica reaches Sterea Ellas and north Peloponnisos to the south, with its southernmost Greek locality on Mt. Chelmos ( Goulimis 1960, Andersson 1991b, Authier 1994, Authier 2002, Tan et al. 2006, Strid et al. 2020; herbarium specimens preserved in B with JACQ-IDs 655330 and 655358). In the floristic region of NE Greece, the species has been reported from Mt. Falakro ( Tan et al. 2006), Mt. Papikio ( Andersson 1991b) and Mt. Angistro (JACQ-ID 655358, B!). Our records (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ) add three new mountains to the distribution of this species, uncommon in Greece.
