Dr. R. B. Saxena*
ABSTRACT
Crocus series : C.aleppici[1], Autumn crocus[2], C. biflori[3], C.biflorus,[4]C. flavi[5], C. longiflori[6], C. oriental[7], C. sativus[8], C. scardici[9], C. speciosi[10], C. verni[11] and C. versicolores[12] have been studied. Now the sub-species Crocus-crocus carpetani series are closely related and are difficult to be separated taxonomically and have a complex cytology. Botany of crocus carpetani series, taxonomy of their species and their infra-specific taxa are presented, and their distribution, ecology and phenology, description and chromosome counts are provided with key of their identification.
