“…pinetorum Davidson, Cave 1970). The three Fritillaria taxa with 2n = 18 form a northern arc from Europe to China, probably originating from the closely related Fritillaria messanensis group (Kamari & Phitos 2006) before F. montana diverged and spread eastwards reaching Xinjiang, in north-western China, as F. meleagroides. This is the third floristic element in China found in Fritillaria sect.…”

To resolve the current taxonomic status of Japanese endemic Fritillaria L., their taxonomic history is retraced. All taxonomic papers are evaluated, together with more recent genetic observations. To determine the wider acceptance of various taxonomic revisions, a range of Floras are also examined. It is evident that articles published in Japanese have not been fully considered by the wider botanical community. Moreover, rivalries between the Tokyo and Kyoto schools of botany and an over-reliance on herbarium material by many authors have undermined the current classification of the Fritillaria 'japonica group'.

“…The genus Fritillaria Linnaeus, 1753 (Liliaceae) comprises approximately 150 taxa of geophytes, found in the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere (Kamari and Phitos 2006). Most of them are distributed across Eurasia while about 20 species occur in California.…”

“…In Greece, the genus is also characterized by high diversity and is represented by a multitude of taxa (24 species and 5 subspecies), all belonging to the subgenus Fritillaria (Kamari and Phitos 2006). …”

“…Only a few species are an exception to this, with x = 9 (3 species), x = 11 (2 species) and x = 13 (2 species), but without a special pattern (Darlington 1937, Noda 1964, Li and Shang 1989, Jafari et al 2014). However, the presence and the morphology of satellited chromosomes vary among the species or even among populations of the same taxon (Runemark 1970, Bentzer et al 1971, Mehra and Sachdeva 1976, Koul and Wafai 1980, Kamari 1984a, 1991a, 1996, Zaharof 1987, Kamari and Phitos 2006). In addition, secondary constrictions and supernumerary B-chromosomes are observed very often (La Cour 1978b, 1978c, Kamari 1984a, 1991a, 1991b, Zaharof 1987, 1989, Kamari and Phitos 2006).…”

As a result, that type of differentiations is always emphasized and specific chromosome pairs are studied as markers, in order to spot the differences among the generally stable and similar karyotypes (Kamari 1984b, Zaharof 1989, Kamari and Phitos 2000, 2006).…”

Fritillaria Linnaeus, 1753 (Liliaceae) is a genus of geophytes, represented in Greece by 29 taxa. Most of the Greek species are endemic to the country and/or threatened. Although their classical cytotaxonomic studies have already been presented, no karyomorphometric analysis has ever been given. In the present study, the cytological results of Fritillaria montana Hoppe ex W.D.J. Koch, 1832 group, which includes Fritillaria epirotica Turrill ex Rix, 1975 and Fritillaria montana are statistically evaluated for the first time. Further indices about interchromosomal and intrachromosomal asymmetry are given. A new population of Fritillaria epirotica is also investigated, while for Fritillaria montana, a diploid individual was found in a known as triploid population. Paired t-tests and PCoA analysis have been applied to compare the two species.
