354.706 : CROCUS VITELLINUS*
Lebanon, M'tein. 875m. Ex R. & R. Wallis 99-26. (In Turkey, this is spring-flowering & not to easy to distinguish from the allied C. graveolens. The seldom-seen Lebanese race flowers from late autumn into mid-winter & is most distinct with deep orange-yellow, sweet-scented flowers. Its flowers need protection under glass in the UK.)

The seedlings have put white flowers from 2012. An orange flower that matches the description on JJA seed list for the first time this year. Probably the seeds were mixed with some white crocuses.

351.100 : CROCUS RUJANENSIS * Serbia, Rujan Planina. 600m. Ex a N. Randjelovic coll. (Recently described spring-flowerer. In effect a northern, disjunct population of C. sieberi subsp. sublimis. Rich lavender-blue flowers with yellow throats. Worth distinguishing by gardeners as it is vigorous & growable under glass & may prove good outside in the UK.)

689.270 : MUSCARI DISCOLOR (Subgen. Botryanthus) * Turkey, Mardin, N of Mardin. 1100m. Among talus on steep limestone slopes. (This is the 'true' plant. Hausshnecht's type-collection was from Mardin & this taxon appears to be restricted to the hills in southern Urfa & Mardin provinces, along the northern edge of the Syrian Desert running towards the Iraqi border. Extreamely early flowering (February with us) & about 10cm. tall with racemes of bicolored, open-mouthed bells, the blackish blue of the base contrasting with the white of the apex, which occupies almost half the length of each flower.)

877.750 : SCILLA SIBERICA subsp. TAURICA * Turkey, Adana, N of Saimbeyli. 1300m. Ex R.& R. Wallis 93-33. (A beautiful, little, blue-flowered plant which seems to fit into this recently described taxon : listed earlier by us under ref. 874.030.)

874.009 : SCILLA INGRIDIAE (S. ingridiae var. taurica, S. siberica subsp. taurica) * Turkey, SE of Kahramanmaraş. Ex a N. Stevens coll. (This collection has been attributed to S. leepii and we have listed as the R. & R. Wallis 93-33 collection from an adjacent area as S. siberica subsp. taurca. We believe it is now correctly identified. A seldom-collected, little species, endemic to the upper drainage of the Tigris, with up to 6, usually single-flowered, slender, 5cm. scapes rising from each bulb to carry flowers with lilac-blue segments with darker midribs. A lovely, early & long flowering pan-plant.)

343.211 : CROCUS CHRYSANTHUS * Turkey, Kartal Geçidi. 1560m. Ex LST 068A. (Wild forms tend to be much smaller, daintier plants than the many garden hybrids & are often none too easy to grow well. Distributed from Serbia to central Turkey, it is essentially a yellow-flowered version of the C. biflorus complex and is similarly highly variable. This collection is distinguished by having a lilac-purple perianth-tube to the bright yellow flowers.)
