Boyce Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3AB, U.K Abstract A synopsis of the 14 species of Arum recorded for Greece and Cyprus with a key to all relevant infrageneric taxa. The genus Arum consists of 26 species of tuberous herbs occurring from the Azores to western China and from Sweden to Morocco (Boyce, 1989, 1993). Since the publication of a monograph of Arum (Boyce, 1993) a further two, as yet undescribed, species have been discovered in Turkey. In addition this publication includes the recognition of A. orientale Bieb. subsp. sintenisii (Engl.) P.C. Boyce at specific rank as A. sintenisii So far 14 species of Arum have been recorded from Greece and Cyprus, representing almost all of the infrageneric divisions proposed by Boyce (1989). Over half of the species are recorded from the Greek islands and Cyprus; six species are known to occur on the mainland. All Arum species in Greece and Cyprus belong to subgen. Arum (see Boyce, 1989, 1993). The other subgenus

Flights Car Hire Accommodation Ionian Greek Islands Ionian Group of Greek Islands The Greek Ionian Islands are scattered off the west coast of mainland Greece , with the exception of Kythira which lies off the southern coast of the Peloponnese at the point where the Ionian Sea meets the Aegean . The two best-known islands are Corfu , one of the first places in Greece to attract package holidaymakers in the 1960s, and Kefallonia which unwittingly acquired an army of fans worldwide after the publication of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Zakynthos is another popular package holiday destination whilst those seeking a tranquil island untouched by mass tourism head for unspoilt Ithaca , the legendary kingdom of Odysseus Lefkada offers bustling tourist resorts along with many wonderful walking trails and traditional mountain villages. The Ionian archipelago is quite different from the Aegean islands in terms of both its culture and appearance. You'll find many legacies of the French and British occupations here rather than the Turkish influence which is so much in evidence on the Aegean islands. Corfu boasts the only cricket ground in Greece and eager local teams still turn up in their whites for regular matches (despite the fact that the British "protectors" left in 1864). The islands receive above average rainfall (Corfu has the highest rainfall in the whole of Greece) with the result that they're lush and green, awash with olive groves, cypresses and mountainsides carpeted with orchids and other wild flowers in springtime. The luxuriant vegetation comes as something of a surprise to those more accustomed to the stark barrenness of the

There are 11 islands in the archipelago but only four are inhabited: Skiathos Skopelos Alonnisos and Skyros . Skiathos has an international airport and boasts some of the best beaches in Greece making it one the most popular package holiday destinations of all the Greek islands . Neighbouring Skopelos also attracts hordes of summer visitors but Alonnisos and Skyros are both relatively unspoilt and appeal to independent travellers seeking tranquility and age-old island traditions untainted by mass tourism. Skiathos will be your top choice if you're a party animal seeking a lively beach scene and an even livelier nightlife. It used to be an exclusive haunt of the rich and famous in the sixties but these days the island has been taken over by the tour operators who block book most of the hotels up to a year in advance. You can fly directly to Skiathos from Athens and several European destinations and there are good ferry and hydrofoil links with the mainland and other islands in the group. The island's greatest attraction is its beaches which are among the most beautiful in the

The landscapes of mainland Greece are works of art, combining harmoniously contrasting, albeit interesting natural elements. The hinterland of Greece is basically mountainous, covering approximately four fifths of its area, with the remaining 1/5 represents flat land. Imposing massifs with snow capped tops alternate with deep gorges thus enhancing the volume of mountains that, nevertheless, form the backbone of the Greek peninsula from the southern tip of Peloponnese to the northern borders of the country. Forest-clad or bare, the mountains of Greece alternate with large and small, picturesque and fertile valleys and plains creating a unique geomorphology of elevations and depressions that constitute the entire relief of Greece. The canvas of Greece is enhanced with lakes and rivers, unique biotopes, caves (coastal and mountainous), archaeological sites and picturesque settlements attracting thousands of visitors each year. The innate kindness of the people of mainland Greece, their rich and inspiring traditions, festivals and age-old customs, palatable and pure cuisine increase visitors’ satisfaction all through mainland Greece.

It is bounded on land by Bulgaria Macedonia and Albania to the north, to the east by Turkey and the waters of the Aegean Sea and to the west and south by the Ionian and Mediterranean Seas . Regarded by many as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece has a long and rich history during which it spread its influence over three continents.
