This crocus was originally collected as "side product" during researching on so named "nubigena" crocus growing on Samos Island, what resulted in description of new species - Crocus seisumsiana. Offered stock was rised up from few "pallasii like" plants collected by me and from seeds collected on Samos by great my friend Marcus Harvey from Australia, who sent me good handful of seeds, collected there by himself. Certainly it is not type pallasii as it is regarded in last Greek papers, but is it different from Chios populations, at present is unclear. Both looks similar, but variability on Chios is of different style.
