Comments

Campanula saxatilis subsp. saxatilis is an endemic
plant of Crete, found mainly in coastal areas of
the western part of the island. It is a perennial
herbaceous plant that grows in crevices and fissures
of rocks and gorges and, occasionally, on the walls of
ruined castles and monasteries, at altitudes of up to
400 m. from sea level. It flowers from April to early
June. It is listed in The Red Data Book of Rare and
Threatened Plants of Greece as Vulnerable (VU), due to
its small total population and the limited area occupied
by its subpopulations. On the islands of Kythira and
Antikythira occurs another subspecies, Campanula
saxatilis subsp. cytherea, which differs by its larger
and broader tubular flowers. The distribution of the
species indicates a close phytogeographical relationship
between Crete and these two islands.
