GeophytesGeophyte represent a crucial component within the ornamental plant industry. GeophytesGeophyte is found within the Magnoliophyta subphylum of the Spermatophyta division, and despite being divided into two classes, namely Liliopsida (Monocots) and Magnoliopsida (Dicots), most of them are monocotyledonous. ColchicumColchicum taxa serve dual roles as both ornamental and medicinal aromatic plants, and they are distributed globally across Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. This perennial bulbous genus belongs taxonomically to the Cholchicaeae family. The ColchicaceaeColchicaceae family, among its 15 genera, accommodates 270 species, making it the third-largest family in the order Liliales, following the Liliaceae and Smilacaceae families. ColchicumColchicum autumnale is one of the most important species in this genus due to its medicinal and aromaticMedicinal and aromatic properties. On the other hand, most of the ColchicumColchicum species have been used as ornamental purpose. The ColchicumColchicum plant is a monocotyledonous and perennial species that grows in forested areas, meadows, and slopes at elevations ranging from 500 to 3000 m. This chapter endeavours to offer an encompassing overview of the biodiversityBiodiversity, medicinal and aromaticMedicinal and aromatic attributes, as well as the ornamental potential exhibited by various ColchicumColchicum species. Furthermore, it introduces different ColchicumColchicum species found in Turkey with ornamental plant potential. Recent advancements in biotechnological methodologies, such as tissue cultureTissue culture and molecular techniquesMolecular biotechnology, are meticulously evaluated within this chapter. As our comprehension of these plants continues to progress, they are poised to maintain their allure for scientists, horticulturists, and conservationists alike. This chapter is poised to provide an alternative perspective on the future prospects of ColchicumColchicum within the ornamental plant industry.
