Crocus tommasinianus Herb., J. Hort. Soc. London 2: 273 (1847). "Found wild in naked mountainous places in Dalmatia. This plant was, as I am informed, first discovered in the mountain called Biokovo, in Dalmatia, by my highly-esteemed friend Signor Tomasini, president of the magistracy at Trieste, and has since been observed on the Triglau, and other mountains in Dalmatia, in sunny spots, and it has passed amongst botanists for C. vernus. I have carefully examined all the specimens sent to me by Professor Petter from Spalatro, and I find no vestige of an involucre in any of them, and I observe that all have narrow linear leaves, whereas those of C. vernus are always wider in the middle of the length, and taper towards each extremity. Amongst Signor Tomasini's specimens I perceived some with a very pale flower and a dark blotch, as in C. Veluchensis and C. Ileuffelianus. It is certainly very closely allied to C. vernus." |
