Popis:	Crocus, a genus of Iridaceae is mostly grown in areas with Mediterranean environment as the best region. Saffron (C. sativus) is a perennial plant and is cultivated as an industrial crop in several regions of Iran. In this research, five accessions of cultivated Saffron from five areas in Khorasan, and Esfahan including Gonabad, Ferdows, Torbat-e-Heyidariye, Estahbanat, Gopayegan were used. Other nine species of saffron were grown naturally in Iran; so we collected two wild species (C. caspius and C. speciosus) from north of Iran (Gilan Province). RAPD markers were used to classify these species and to find their relationships. In the results of this study, the cluster analysis showed two distinct groups. Also, the maximum similarity was seen between C. caspius and C. speciosus (0.82) and the minimum was between Estahbanat, Ferdows accessions and C. speciosus (0.33). Finally, this method as a convenience procedure could be used to separate different accessions and species of Crocus as well.
