Colchicum baytopiorum is a plant species native to western Turkey and to the Greek island of Rhodes (although possibly extinct there).[1][2] It has small, bright pink-purple flowers measuring 4 cm (1.5") across. It is unusual in the genus in producing small leaves in autumn while in bloom, as opposed to producing leaves in spring.[3] It has a chromosome number of 46, 54 or 108.[4] The species was named in honor of Turkish botanist Asuman Baytop.[5]
