Fritillaria L. (Liliaceae Juss. 1789) comprises of more than 165 taxa (about 100 species) which are distributed in Northern hemisphere. Most of the species in this genus belong to the main subgenus, Fritillaria [1]. The Mediterranean region is the center of genetic diversity of Fritillaria species, with most of the taxa described from Turkey [2] and [3] . Taxonomy of this genus is reviewed by several authors [4] to [7] , and the current classification which is proposed by [1] is supported at sub generic level by the phylogenetic studies [8] and [9], although, relationships among species remain, however, not resolved especially in the largest subgenus, Fritillaria.
