Coll. by VV. (TU.184) in Turkey: Prov. Izmir, alt. 800 m, 18.04.1992. This belongs to the saffron group, but is easily distinguished by the point where the style divides into short branches. In C. pallasii this is above the level of the base of the anthers. Provided a good summer rest can be given, this is a vigorous, floriferous clone, well worth having. Ht. 3 inches.
