¿Qué es crocus asturicus (/ridaceae)?

espanolCrocus asturicus Herb. fue descripto por Herbert (1842) como una planta intermedia entre C. nudiflorus Sm., por su bulbo estolonifero, y C. serotinus Salisb., por su garganta pubescente. La planta procedia de una semilla del C. nudiflorus, colectado por Duriaeu en Gijon. Maw (1886) no encontro en Asturias plantas con esas caracteristicas, y asimilo C. asturicus al C. serotinus quef/orece durante el otono asturiano. Esta interpretacion, pese a contradecir la descripcion original.fue seguida por casi todos los autores posteriores. En las zonas en las que conviven C. nudiflorus y C. serotinus aparecen plantas que se ajustan a la descripcion original de C. asturicus y que por su elevada esterilidad polinica deben considerarse hibridos entre ambas especies. Dado que no se pueden encontrar los materiales originales descritos por Herbert se procede a la neotipificacion del taxon: C. x asturicus Herb. pro sp. EnglishCrocus asturicus Herb. was described by Herbert (1843) as an intermediate plant between C. nudiflorus Sm.,for producing its offsets on runners, and C. serotinus Salisb., for having a bearded throat. The plant came from a seed of C. nudiflorus, collected by Duriaeu in Gijon. Maw (1886) did not find plants with these characteristics in Asturias and assimilated C. asturicus to the C. serotinus thatf/owers during the Asturian autumn. This interpretation, despite contradicting the original description, was followed by almost all subsequent authors. 1n the areas where C. nudiflorus and C. serotinus coexist, plants that conform to the original description of C. asturicus appear and, due to their high pollen sterility, should be considered hybrids between both species. Since the original materials described by Herbert cannot be found, the taxon is neotyped: C. x asturicus Herb.pro sp.
