Abstract
The large number of chromosome counts which have been published for the genus Crocus (Darlington & Wylie, 1955; Bolkhovskikh et al., 1969) show that it is a genus which is cytologically very varied. However, many of these counts have been made on plants which have been derived either from horticultural or unspecified origin. Consequently the chromosome information is not as useful as it might have been and before adequate considerations of evolution can be undertaken it is necessary to study plants from specified wild localities over the whole area of their distribution. For these reasons
