National audience. The nuclear DNA amount has been assessed, by flow cytometry, for 25 plant taxa indigenous on Kefallinia Island. Genome size for all these taxa are here reported for the first time. Of these 25 taxa, 18 are Greek and Adriatic/Ionian endemics and 7 are more widely distributed, but of particular interest otherwise. The 2C DNA values ranged from 0.58 pg for Briza minor to 49.53 pg for Paeonia mascula subsp. russoi. In addition, two ploidy levels (2x & 4x) were confirmed for Centaurea subciliaris subsp. subciliaris.
