Tecophilaea cyanocrocus
''Tecophilaea cyanocrocus'' (Chilean blue crocus) is a flowering perennial plant that is native to Chile, growing at elevation on dry, stony slopes in the Andes mountains. Although it had survived in cultivation due to its use as a greenhouse and landscape plant, it was believed to be extinct in the wild due to overcollecting, overgrazing, and general destruction of habitat, until it was rediscovered in 2001.
==Description==
Both the specific epithet ''cyanocrocus'' and the common name "Chilean blue crocus" highlight the plant's passing resemblance to the true crocus. However, the two plants are not closely related, and there is no blue crocus, either in the wild or in cultivation.〔
In its native habitat, the plant blooms from October to November, which is springtime in the Southern Hemisphere. In northern climates, it flowers from February to March.
''Tecophilaea cyanocrocus'' grows on stems up to tall, with 1-3 linear fleshy leaves. The single flowers are approximately across, goblet shaped, and are an unusual deep gentian blue color, with a whitish center. The root is a nearly sphere-shaped corm with a fibrous cover.〔
