Fritillaria kittaniae Endemic
This small and very variable plant only grows in one area of Antalya in Turkey at Elmali near Gombe and not far from Kas. The variability has been attributed to the idea that it may developed from a hybrid between Fritillaria carica and Fritillaria pinardii. In spite of the variability, it usually has the yellowish striping of the petals.
