Anatomy, morphology and chemical investigations some crocus L. species grown in Eskisehir

This study was carried out upon anatomic, morphologic and chemical researches of 3 species Crocus L. that distribute in Eskisehir (C. ancyrensis Herbert (Maw)-endemic, C. antalyensis Mathew-endemic, C. chyrsanthus (Herbert)).
