The three taxa of the Fritillaria tubaeformis group are illustrated here. These plants are narrow endemic geophytes of the Alpine chain, where they are rare and representative of the subalpine grasslands, a very diverse and heterogeneous mosaic of habitats. A detailed description of each is provided, with notes on taxonomy, ecology, and cultivation. Remarks on distribution patterns and habitat specificity are also included. This comprehensive information allows for a clearer delimitation of the three taxa.

Abstract

The three taxa of the Fritillaria tubaeformis group are illustrated here. These plants are narrow endemic geophytes of the Alpine chain, where they are rare and representative of the subalpine grasslands, a very diverse and heterogeneous mosaic of habitats. A detailed description of each is provided, with notes on taxonomy, ecology, and cultivation. Remarks on distribution patterns and habitat specificity are also included. This comprehensive information allows for a clearer delimitation of the three taxa.
