Abstract
The genus Crocus includes native species from Europe, North Africa and temperate Asia, and is especially well represented in arid countries of South-Eastern Europe and Western and Central Asia (Fernández, 2004). Dried stigmas of saffron flowers compose the most expensive spice which has been valuable since ancient times for its odoriferous, coloring, and medicinal properties (Plessner et al., 1989).
