MARSILEA AEGYPTIA CA (MARSILEACEAE) ON THE MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND OF ELAFONISOS (LACONIA, PELOPONNESE, GREECE)

摘要

The water-clover species Marsilea aegyptiaca was first detected on the Mediterranean island of Elafonisos (Péloponnese, Greece) nearly 25 years ago. This was the first record for the species as part of the European flora. Recent work has shown that M. aegyptiaca still occurs at the site, and data are presented concerning its identification, habitat and distribution. Morphological characters of all known European species within the genus are compared.
