Crocus bertiscensis was recently described from N Albania. I'm growing very similar to it sample collected not very far in neighbouring Kosovo. The main difference is in habitat - typical Crocus bertiscensis is plant of alpine meadows whilst Kosovo sample is growing into Fagus forest and has wider leaves, what is quite typical for more shaded popuilations, so I offer it here as "similar to Crocus bertiscensis ". Both - typical bertiscensis and Kosovo plants are grown by me in something acid substrate (pH below 6) and they are growing very well both in pots and earlier as well they felt on open field..
