^h English (en)	The domesticated saffron crocus, ''Crocus sativus'', is an autumn-[[flowering plant\|flowering]] [[perennial plant]] unknown in the wild. It possibly descends from the eastern Mediterranean autumn-flowering ''[[Crocus cartwrightianus]]'' which is also known as "wild saffron" and is native to [[mainland Greece]], [[Euboea]], [[Crete]], [[Skyros]] and some islands of the [[Cyclades]]. The similar species ''[[Crocus thomasii\|C. thomasii]]'' and ''[[Crocus pallasii\|C. pallasii]]'' were considered as other possible ancestors. As a genetically monomorphic clone incapable of seed production, it was slowly propagated by humans throughout much of [[Eurasia]]. Various origins have been suggested for saffron, including [[Iran]], [[Greece]], [[Mesopotamia]] and [[Kashmir]].
