‘The difficulty of describing correctly the shapes and colours of the perigones of Fritillaria and the even greater difficulty of preserving them adequately in dried specimens has much hindered the discrimination of the more intimately related forms of the genus. The obvious remedy is to depict as many of them as possible in their natural colours from living material of known origin.’

Otto Stapf, Curtis’s Botanical Magazine 1924
