Taxon info

Ficaria ficarioides is related to the widespread and variable Ficaria verna but differs, e.g., in the lobed leaves. The former occurs in mountains of Peloponnisos and Sterea Ellas, flowering near patches of melting snow, with Crocus, Scilla, etc. Plants from lower altitude on Karpathos and Kasos are apparently conspecific, whereas the status of some records from SC Anatolia is uncertain.A
