Synonymy
Taxon info
Crocus chrysanthus occurs in the Balkan Peninsula and the W half of Anatolia. In Greece it is found mainly in the north but is scattered southwards to Peloponnisos, flowering in the early spring. Apart from the golden-yellow flowers it is similar to C. biflorus s.lat. and even hybridizes with the latter where they meet. Two similar, yellow-flowered species, C. flavus and C. olivieri, are recognized on differences in bulb tunics, stigmas, etc.A
