Well yes I agree Gerry, and sorry I was confusing my uva-vulpis and my assyriaca when comparing. It does make you wonder how many more Fritillaria affs are going to come out of Turkey though  ;)
The Fritillaria book mentions F.assyriaca melanthera which has an entire style- but they say it has blackish anthers.

Folks, here is a post from the thread on the Negev Desert:

which I  know will be of interest to you... I suggest  you keep an eye on that thread in future, lest you miss any gems!!

Weather was not favoured for taking photos today, it is cloudy and hot, never the less i have decided go back to the Negev, this time the North Eastern and Eastern parts.

The N.E. receive more rain falls generally there for Fritillaria persica grows there in large quantities.
This form is also known as F. arabica, there is a big  variation in color and  shape of the flower.

Here are just a few samples going from white to very dark chocolate color.

My apologies Simon, I read the Flora carelessly & too quickly. Both uva vulpis & assyriaca have entire styles.

Excited today to find the below - and 3 others like it - in my seedling pots of F. poluninii from Archibald seed (sowed 2006 I think, could be 2007, don't want to go outside to check!)

Lovely frits everyone. I especially love F. alburyana which flowers for me each year though hasn't increased at all. I love its beautiful chrystalline look, like rose quartz.

Congratulations Zdenek , 3 beautyful (and beautyfully grown)and compact Frits.

  Lesley , you are fortunate to be able to flower F. alburyana  , it does not like me , or rather the climate . The winters are not cold enough here - but I can flower F. latifolia &aurea

I love all Fritillaries but these that you have grown are quite exceptional Zdenek - thank you for posting such lovely photos of them  :)
