This species of crocus is pretty similar to cartwrightianus
but it differs in the branches of the style
and occasionally in the color of the tepals.
 
It is found in stony locations and shrublands
in the wide area from the Balkan to Iran.
 
In Greece, it thrives on some Aegean islands
and on a few areas of the mainland at altitudes of 50m to about 2400m.
 
It blooms from October to November.
 
The pictures above come from Mt. Hymittos.
