Notes

Bellevalia hyacinthoides is a Balkan endemic, scattered at low altitude in Peloponnisos, the mainland (northwards to Chalkidiki) and the Ionian Islands, with a few records also from the Kiklades. Being early flowering (January to March) and rather inconspicuous, it may well be overlooked. Seven other species of Bellevalia are known in Greece.
