Four images of Bellevalia specimens. A–B: B. shiraziana in rocky habitat in southern Iran, showing low rosettes with fruiting scapes. C: Herbarium specimen of B. shiraziana (holotype). D: Herbarium specimen of B. decolorans (holotype) showing bulb and scape.

The systematics of #Bellevalia remain a challenge—but step by step, we’re making progress!

🔬 Together with colleagues from Iran 🇮🇷, we revisited a puzzling species pair using morphology, fieldwork & molecular tools.
