In essence a local variation which is similar to ssp hadriaticus except for the white throat in ssp parnassicus (yellow in ssp hadriaticus) For discussion of the different subspecies see Crocus hadriaticus hadriaticus

This plant can be confused with Crocus cartwrightianus white forms, a confusion that has been perpetuated in commerce. Crocus hadriaticus has a style which divides above the throat of the flower and is less than half as long as the petals while Crocus cartwrightianus has long style branches which arise, divided in the throat of the flower.

The lower picture may represent Crocus cartwrightianus with its long style branches.
