Abstract
Resulting from field work in all seasons 120 taxa are newly
recorded for the island of Antikythera, among them 13 local or
Aegean endemics. The total number of native plant taxa on the island
is raised to 336. From the nearby islets Thimonies and Prassou, thus
far unexplored botanically, 8 and 98 taxa, respectively, are
recorded. Chorological and biological spectra of the total flora of
the islands are given and discussed. A description of the vegetation
of the area is added, including a vegetation map. The need for
intensive exploration of the Greek island flora during all seasons
is emphasized.
Key words:
flora, endemics, vegetation, Thimonies,
Prassou, chorology, life forms.
