The taxonomically complicated Crocus series Verni is characterized by high intra-and interspecific variability of karyotypes (2n = 8-23). With the aim to get more insights into complex karyotype evolution and to clarify the taxonomy of this group, we combined morphological (twelve characters), molecular (chloroplast DNA: trnL-trnF, ndhF; nuclear DNA: ITS, pCOSAt103) and karyological analyses. Samples of different populations of C. etruscus, C. ilvensis, C. kosaninii, C. tommasinianus, C. vernus sensu lato and C. longiflorus (series Longiflori) were analyzed. Quantitative karyotype parameters were calculated for all taxa involved based on the available literature. For the taxon traditionally known as C. vernus, the analyses suggest that it should be split in five species: C. heuffelianus, C. neapolitanus, C. neglectus sp. nov., C. siculus and C. vernus. The comparison of genome total haploid lengths suggests that in the evolution of the group polyploidization only played a role within the C. vernus species complex, where we also detected two hybridization events. In all other taxa, chromosome evolution is probably characterized by chromosome fusions and fissions, sometimes affecting the entire haploid chromosome set. Comparative cytogenetics of the group indicates that series Verni is subject to a peculiar type of unequal change in chromosome size, i.e., that not both chromosome arms gain or lose equally in DNA content. As a taxonomic consequence of our study, series Verni is newly circumscribed, now including the autumn-flowering C. longiflorus and excluding C. baytopiorum.

“…He divided the genus into two subgenera, two sections and 15 series. Since 1982 the genus Crocus was studied by many authors and many new species have been published recently (Randelović et al 1990, Yüzbaşıoğlu & Varol 2004, Peruzzi & Carta 2011, Erol et al 2012, Randelović et al 2012, Kerndorrf et al 2013a, 2013b, 2013c, Yıldırım & Erol 2013. Morphological, molecular and karyological investigations indicate that the number of species is probably closer to 160 occurring from western Europe and northwestern Africa to western China with the centre of species diversity in Asia Minor and on the Balkan Peninsula (Harpke et al 2013, Harpke et al 2014a, Harpke et al 2014b, Rukšāns 2014.…”

Crocus thracicus is described as a new species from Thrace, the European part of Turkey. The white form of this species was wrongly referred to an albino form of C. chrysanthus by Mathew in the Flora of Turkey. It grows in open stony places and in sparse Quercus sp. and Paliurus spina-christi clearings at elevations between 45-170 m. It is compared with the morphologically similar C. alexandri and C. weldenii. A description, detailed illustrations, photograps of metephase plate, karyotype and idiogram of new species are presented.

“…The genus Crocus L. consists currently of about 160 recognized species (Mathew, 1982;Petersen et al, 2008;Kerndorff and Pasche, 2011;Kerndorff et al, 2011Kerndorff et al, , 2013Peruzzi and Carta, 2011;Ranđelović et al, 2012;Harpke et al, 2014) occurring from western Europe and northwestern Africa to western China, with the center of species diversity on the Balkan Peninsula and in Turkey. Many crocuses are known as popular ornamentals, and saffron, the dried styles of C. sativus L., is one of the world's most expensive spices.…”

occurring from western Europe and northwestern Africa to western China, with the center of species diversity on the Balkan Peninsula and in Turkey. Many crocuses are known as popular ornamentals, and saffron, the dried styles of C. sativus L., is one of the world's most expensive spices. Molecular systematic studies (Petersen et al., 2008;Seberg and Petersen, 2009;Harpke et al., 2013) recently showed that several of the infrageneric taxonomic units of Mathew's (1982) revision of the genus are not monophyletic. Among them is series Reticulati B.Mathew of section Nudiscapus B.Mathew, with species occurring in the phylogenetic trees in clades intermingled with taxa of series Biflori B.Mathew and series Speciosi B.Mathew. Traditionally, within C. reticulatus, a species described from the Caucasus (Weber and Mohr, 1805), 2 subspecies are recognized on morphological grounds: subsp. reticulatus and subsp. hittiticus (T.Baytop & B.Mathew) B.Mathew (Mathew, 1982), occurring from Italy to southwestern Russia and Turkey. However, according to Mathew, subsp. reticulatus is highly heterogeneous, including 3 cytotypes with 2n = 10, 12, and 14 chromosomes. Under subsp. reticulatus Mathew (1982) subsumed as synonyms several taxa, such as, for instance, C. micranthus and C. variegatus. To arrive at a systematic treatment of Crocus that reflects natural relationships among taxa we are currently analyzing and circumscribing monophyletic units of the genus (Kerndorff et al., 2013;Harpke et al., 2014). Here we provide data for the C. reticulatus species group in its new definition based on 2 molecular data sets and morphological characters.Molecular markers are able to provide higher numbers of qualitative characters for closely related taxa
