Description

An intriguing species from the alpine zone of the Hop Pass in North East Turkey. It makes only 1-2 tubular leaves and a 5 cm tall stem, topped with a tuft of 5-10, tubular, light-purple flowers. In overall appearance it is reminiscent of some of the North American species.

From the same area as Fritillaria alburyana, like that species, it needs a long, very cold, almost dry winter.
