About Crocus biflorus Mill.

Crocus biflorus Mill. is a herbaceous perennial geophyte that grows from a corm. Its corm is globe-shaped with flattened ends, and is covered by a smooth tunic that has two or three rings. The species produces white-lilac flowers that have yellow throats and purple-blue striped outer surfaces. Each blooming corm typically produces two flowers, which is the reason for the species epithet "biflorus".
