Thank you Oron.
I can also confirm this in relation to the Flora of Cyprus now.
'Contributions to the flora of Cyprus I' includes an update to C. troodi, on p.62:
"Colchicum troodi Kotschy
+ Division 1: Neo Chorio, steep slope with scattered
trees and bushes.
The population shows a wide range of variation already described by Meikle
(1985: 1594). The perianth segments vary from narrowly oblong to almost
obovate, their colour from white to vivid pink. K. P. Buttler"
That locality is on the Akamas peninsula, not far from 'my' plants.
The Contributions (I)- and Supplementary Notes (I-IV)- to the Flora of Cyprus can be downloaded from
www.ingentaconnect.com (open access). (Search for 'Flora of Cyprus' in the search box on the home page.)
Note that (V) has two additional PDFs: 'colour plate's and 'errata', but the search doesn't find them. For that, see
http://www.bgbm.org/willdenowia/willd36/hand.htmThat page also includes a link to an index to taxa in I-V (not VI).
It is always a bit aggravating not to know what a plant is (maybe more than a bit), especially one you see often.
I have seen this Colchicum at various places along the Akamas ridge over the years, so it is very good to have this settled.
