A perennial, bulbous and also poisonous colchicum,
as is the case with all colchicums.
It is endemic to Central Greece with more populations found
in Attica, Evoia, and Viotia.
However, populations are sparse. This is the reason why
it is considered “almost threatened” for extinction.
It grows in open, stony and grassy habitats at altitudes of 200 - 1100 meters
and flowers from late August to early October.
Its leaves appear after flowering.
The pictures were taken on Mt. Parnitha.
