Caryologia, 65 (7), 1-10.0008-7114https://doi.org/10.1080/00087114.2012.678075https://hdl.handle.net/11491/489Chromosome numbers and morphometric parameters of five Crocus L. taxa were examined. Except C. specious Bieb. subsp. specious, and C. olivieri Gay subsp. olivieri, the other 3 taxa, C. abantensis T. Baytop et Mathew, C. ancyrensis (Herbert) Maw, and C. biflorus Miller subsp. pulchricolor (Herbert) Mathew all are endemic for Turkey. The chromosome numbers of C. abantensis 2n = 8 chromosomes, six of them metacentric and two were submetacentric, C. ancyrensis and C. olivieri subsp. olivieri both had 2n = 6 chromosomes and all the chromosomes were subtelocentric, finally C. specious subsp. specious and C. biflorus subsp. pulchricolor both had 2n = 8 chromosomes and all were submetacentric. Although some of the taxa chromosome numbers were known from previous studies, in this study some different counts were and their detailed karyotypes were presented. © 2012 Dipartimento di Biologia Evoluzionistica, Università di Firenze.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChromosome NumbersCrocus TaxaEndemicKaryotype AnalysisTurkeyArticle65171010.1080/00087114.2012.678075N/AQ3
