The flowers are pollinated by bees, and the seeds are dispersed by ants.
Fritillaria assyriaca is a bulbous herbaceous perennial plant occurring in a region stretching from Turkey to Iran. It is a species in the genus Fritillaria, in the lily family Liliaceae. It has 1-2, occasionally 5, narrow and campanulate tubular flowers that are greenish or dusky reddish or purplish brown with green fascia, occasionally striped, yellowish inside. The leaves are usually 4-6, but may be up to 12. It is found in central Turkey in the Ankara region, east to Agri in the far eastern part of Turkey, and south towards Shiraz, Iran, and often occupies disturbed habitats. It flowers from March to May and is pollinated by bees, and the seeds are dispersed by ants. It is a tetraploid with a very large genome of approximately 127 pg (130 Gb (Giga base pairs)). It was for a long time the largest known genome, exceeding the largest vertebrate animal genome known to date.
