Bulbocodium

Bulbocodium is a small genus in the Colchicaceae family from southern, central and Eastern Europe with erect purple funnel-shaped flowers in spring. In 2023 it is considered by most authorities to be included in Colchicum. It differs mainly in not having three separate styles. Instead, it has one which divides into three right at the tip. Bulbocodium means 'a wool covered bulb'.
