Annotation: Chromosome counts of Crocus hellenicus (2n = 18) were performed using plant material from Lefkada (Bareka & al. 2018: 91, as Crocus speciosus subsp. speciosus). The Greek populations of C. speciosus, a Caucasian species, have recently been separated as C. speciosus subsp. hellenicus (Rukšāns 2013). The former subspecies of Crocus speciosus s. lat. are better treated at species level (cf. Harpke & al. 2013, Rukšāns 2014, Rukšāns 2017). [2018-10-02]
