About
Colchicum luteum, the yellow colchicum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Colchicaceae, native to Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the western Himalayas, and Tibet. The only yellow-flowered member of its genus, a number of cultivars are available, including 'Golden Baby' and 'Vahsh'. The species is endemic and shows very restricted distribution due to the requirement of specific conditions for growth. In Lahaul a place called 'Kukumseri' has been named after the species where, ‘Kukum’ means Colchicum luteum and ‘Seri’ means field. The place justifies its name due to the presence of a reasonably large number of species in the area.
