Abstract
The local endemic element in the flora of the W Aegean island of
Evvia comprises 39 taxa (2.1 % of an estimated total of 1833 taxa).
The three centres of endemism on the island are the ophiolitic areas
of N Evvia, Mt Dirphis in central Evvia and Mt Ochi and the Cape
Kafireas area in S Evvia. The majority of the endemic taxa inhabit
limestone and ophiolitic habitats. Schizoendemics (80.8 %) form the
largest category, followed by apoendemics (11.5 %) and
palaeoendemics (7.7 %). Taxonomical comments on selected taxa are
provided. The chromosome number of ten taxa is given for the first
time.
Key words:
island biogeography, taxonomy, vascular plants, serpentine, chromosome numbers.
