RHIZOPOULOU1 1Department of Biology, University of Athens, Greece; 2Department of Pharmacognosy and Chemistry of Natural Products, University of Athens, Greece and 3Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Florence, Italy Abstract Major processes contributing to subtleties of ephemeral flowers of Asphodelus ramosus are related to chemical constituents detected in tepals which expand during cold and wet seasons in the eastern Mediterranean. Luteolin, caffeic acid, chlorogenic, and p-hydroxy-benzoic acids are the main constituents, whereas alkanes, ketones, and fatty acids appear in low amounts.

The author found 152 plants species belonging to 58 families (see Appendix) that treat paralysis and other nervous disorders. The most significant plants species are found in the six families of herbs: Labiatae, Compositae, Umbelliferae, Papilionaceae, Liliaceae, and Solanaceae.

A contribution to the knowledge of the vascular flora of Symi and the nearby island of Seskli is pre- sented, being an update of the vascular flora of Symi and Seskli islands, 32 years after the first check- list published by Carlström. The occurrence of Limonium hirsuticalyx is reported on Symi for the first time; for Seskli, 41 new floristic records are provided, in addition to a species inquirenda: Limonium cfr. hirsuticalyx / meyeri. The strong floristic affinity between Symi and SW Anatolia, to which Symi was linked until the upper Pleistocene, is confirmed by the large number of range- restricted and rare taxa occurring on Symi and for the most part shared with the Muğla province in SW Anatolia. Despite its relatively recent insular isolation, Symi hosts a fair rate of endemics, including three single-island endemics: Allium symiacum, A. panormitisi and Origanum symes. Key words: floristic investigation, endemism, active speciation, ruderal species. Introduction Symi island belongs to the Dodecanese. It is located between Rhodes and the Turkish coast (Datça Peninsula, Muğla Province) from which it is only 5 km (Fig.
