On the first picture Papaver rhoeas in front of the southern colonnade of the Tetragonos Agora in Ephesus. During this part of my trip I was alone, but just the day before we have visited Mylassa and Knidos with Olga, Despina and Beryl.

Orobanche alba

 

Areopagus, Athens, April 26, 2009

This a parasitic plant (epiphyt) and on the second picture one may observe that it grows on a Thapsia garganica plant. It belongs to the familly Orobanchaceae, but I am not quite sure about the taxa (any help is wellcome).

Nepenthes hurreliana x veitchii

 

Maliau basin, Borneo, August 9, 2006

Another Nepenthes natural hybrid. I guess (but not sure) hurreliana x veitchii. We met most of these beautiful carnivorous plants on our way to the Camel Trophy camp, which in the meanwhile has been renamed to "Nepenthes camp".

Nepenthes fusca x burbidgeae

Maliau basin, Borneo, August 9, 2006

This is one of the many natural Nepenthes hybrids we encountered with my friend George in Maliau basin, during our week-long walk through the rainforest. It probably stems from Nepenthes fusca and Nepenthes burbidgeae, but I am not sure; any help?

Malcolmia macrocalyx ssp. scyria

Analipsi beach, Pelion, Thessaly, Mars 26, 2006

This particular subspecies of Malcolmia is reported only from the island of Scyros and the central part of Euboea, West of Kyme (brown areas on the map). I found it however on the rocks surrounding the beach of Analipsi, North of Chorefto, on the foothills of Mt. Pelion (red arrow on the map). It seems then that this rare taxa, endemic to the western Aegean geobotanical zone, has a wider spreading than supposed until now.
