위키 설명

 

Crocus is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub(관목지대), and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to western China.

 

 

The cup-shaped, solitary, salverform flower tapers off into a narrow tube. Their colors vary enormously, although lilac, mauve (담자색), yellow, and white are predominant. The grass-like, ensiform (劍狀의) leaf shows generally a white central stripe along the leaf axis. The leaf margin is entire. Crocuses typically have three stamens. The spice saffron is obtained from the stigmas of Crocus sativus, an autumn-blooming species.

아래는 크로커스 중에서 가장 많이 보급되어 있는 Crocus sativus L.에 대한 영어 위키 설명이다. 이 종은 흔히 사프란(saffron)이고도 불리우는데 원래 사프란은 이 종의 꽃으로 만든 향신료를 가리키었던 것으로 보이나 요즘은  구분하지 않고 쓰는 것으로 보인다  

 

Crocus sativus L.

 

 

 

Family: Iridaceae

 

 

 

 

 

 

A single shell-shaped violet flower is in sharp centre focus amidst a blurred daytime and overcast garden backdrop of soil, leaves, and leaf litter. Four narrow spine-like green leaves flank the stem of the blossom before curving outward. From the base of the flower emerge two crooked and brilliant crimson rod-like projections pointing down sideways. They are very thin and half the length of the blossom.

Crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron crocus, or autumn crocus,[2] is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the Iridaceae family. It is best known for producing the spice saffron from the filaments that grow inside the flower. The term "autumn crocus" is also mistakenly used for flowers in the Colchicum species. However, crocuses have 3 stamens and 3 styles, while colchicum have 6 stamens and 1 style and are toxic.[3]

 

This cormous autumn-flowering perennial plant species is unknown in the wild.[2] Human cultivation of saffron crocus and use of saffron have taken place for more than 3,500 years and spans different cultures, continents, and civilizations, see history of saffron. Crocus sativus is currently known to grow in the Mediterranean, East Asia, and Irano-Turanian Region.[4] Saffron is the triploid form of a species found in Eastern Greece, Crocus cartwrightianus;[5][6] it probably appeared first in Southern Greece on the Attic peninsula[7] or the Cretan island. An origin in Western or Central Asia, although often suspected, is not supported by botanical research.[8] Other sources suggested some genetic input from Crocus pallasii,[9] which has not been verified by chromosome[5] and genome[7] comparisons.
