The budding plant from Samos seems very puzzling to me because Scilla bifolia s.str. does not occur in Greece, and the Scilla bifolia-like species mentioned for the East Aegean islands in 'Vascular Plants of Greece - An annotated Checklist' Scilla nivalis, Scilla longistylosa, and Scilla voethorum have all very narrow leaves of 4 to 10 mm width, but the leaves on the photo are looking wider. | ||
