Conservation status

In Ukraine - NT ( Onyshchenko et al. 2022).

Distribution

SE Carpathian subendemic.

Notes

In Ukraine, this species occurs in Transcarpathia only and is listed in the Red Book of Ukraine as vulnerable ( Mihály and Komendar 1993, Mygal 2009, MEPNR of Ukraine 2021). In his paper, Hooker (1840), in table 3861, indicated that C. speciosus var. transsylvanicus is a synonym of C. speciosus mentioned by Lindley (1839) in table 40. However, Lindley clearly stated that he considered C. speciosus sensu Baumg. (not sensu M.Bieb.) and also mentioned these plants under the name C. nudiflorus . Both taxa, C. speciosus sensu Baumg. and C. nudiflorus are known synonyms of C. Crocus banaticus . Consequently, C. speciosus var. transsylvanicus is also considered here as a synonym of C. banaticus . Danciu and Golban (2009) on page 131 also mentioned C. speciosus Rochel, non alior as a synonym of C. banaticus. However, in the original work of Rochel (1828), there is no evidence of its synonymy with C. Crocus banaticus .

Both Schur’s species were described from the Carpathian region ( Schur 1853) and have no relation to C. salzmannii , which is sometimes recognised as a subspecies, C. serotinus subsp. salzmannii (J.Gay) B.Mathew). It was shown that C. banaticus , which, for a long time, was considered belonging to the independent subgenus Crociris Schur, is a morphological variant within section Crocus , but still distinct from C. salzmannii ( Surányi et al. 2010, Harpke et al. 2013). This mistaken synonymisation has been resolved in the Worldplants database (https://www.worldplants.de/world-plants-complete-list/complete-plant-list?name=Crocus-salzmannii, accessed on 07.06.2023).
