Many issues of ontogeny, morphogenesis, and taxonomy of the Cyclamen genus plants remain poorly studied thus far. Data available on the species native to Crimea and the Caucasus are also contradictory. Here we studied the C. coum populations growing around the Maikop city in the Caucasus and those of C. kuznetzovii in Crimea in order to describe a particular ontogeny of these two taxa and to draw preliminary conclusions concerning their taxonomic location.
