Flora of Naxos
Flora of Naxos
Identify plants species
Several researchers of Botany, mainly from N. Europe, have collected plant materila from Naxos, there is, however, no complete work on the flora of the island as a whole (a work, of course, particularly ambitious and demanding). From the individual collections and the published works is estimated that the total number of plant taxa (species and subspecies) of the island is around 1000.
Three plants are considered exclusive endemics of Naxos (Bupleurum aira, Erysimum naxense, Symphytum davisii subsp. naxicola), while approx. 50 more species have rather restricted distribution within Aegean area, such as Cerastium runemarkii (Naxos, Evia), Galanthus ikariae (Ikaria, Naxos, Andros, Skyros), Campanula calaminthifolia (Naxos, Sikinos Folegandros, Mykonos, Paros) and others.
