***Colchicum ***is a genus of perennial flowering plants containing around 160 species that grow from bulb-like corms. It is a member of the botanical family Colchicaceae, and is native to West Asia, Europe, parts of the Mediterranean coast, down the East African coast to South Africa, and the Western Cape.
