In the study carried out the peculiarities of the major parameters of reproductive biology (features of the structures and processes in the male and female generative sphere, pollen and seed viability) of three species of genus Colchicum from the Bulgarian flora - Colchicum autumnale, Colchicum diampolis and Colchicum bivonae were established.

Why is it important?

This kind of study is carried out for the first time not only on Bulgarian population of the cited species but on species of genus Colchicum at all. It was focused in the following main points concerning the reproductive biology of studied species: 1) To establish the mode of reproduction of their native populations in Bulgaria; 2) To characterize the peculiarities of their reproductive structures and the processes running in them; 3) To estimate their pollen and seed (embryo) viability.
