The two books plus DVD edition 'Flowers of Greece' from T. Lafranchis & G. Sfikas (DIATHEO Paris 2009) is a valuable tool for those who want to know names of plants of Greece including the islands. A big part of the plants occurring there is described briefly, and many of these are also shown in photos.
It is almost inevitable that such a large work contains some errors.
Those which I have found when working with it or which were told to me I collected in this internet page.
This is not an official page of the authors or publisher of 'Flowers of Greece', and it contains only what I or colleagues saw accidently:
Species resp. Photo | Problem | Remark |
All DVD and book (I, 380) photos of Frankenia pulverulenta ... | ... are showing a Spergularia, probably salina | |
All DVD and book (II, 82) photos of Micromeria graeca ... | ... are showing Micromeria juliana ? | |
2 DVD photos 'Micromeria juliana 3' (= right photo in book II, 80) + '.. 4' ... | ... are showing Micromeria graeca ? | 2 DVD photos 'Micromeria juliana 1' (= left photo in book) + '.. 2' seem to be correct ? |
3 DVD photos 'micromeria nervosa 2' + '.. 3' + 'Micromeria nervosa' (= photo in book II, 80) seem to be correct |
It would be very useful for the users of 'Flowers of Greece' if the authors or publisher would maintain a small but 'official' internet site which collects all errata. |
Moreover it would be useful to add a list what the many photos on the DVD, at which the shown plants, animals, or locations are not mentioned within the file name, are showing. Without knowing that these photos are more or less useless. |
