Colchicum montanum, Pyrenees

            Colchicum ( including Androcymbium, Bulbocodium and Merendera) is a genus of flowering plants containing around 160 species of perennial plants which grow from bulb-like corms. It is a member of family Colchicaceae, and is native to West Asia, Europe, parts of the Mediterranean coast, down the East African coast to South Africa and the Western Cape. In this genus the ovary of the flower is underground. As a consequence, the styles are extremely long in proportion, often more than 10cm. The plant contains the alkaloid colchicine which is used pharmaceutically to treat gout and Familial Mediterranean fever.
