The fascinating  Fritillaria  genus includes 100 species, of which 14 species are native to Iran. Iran is center of origin and genetic diversity of important species like  F. imperialis  and  F. persica . Unfortunately, in recent years wild populations of these valuable plants, which have commercial value, are at risk of extinction in Iran. Effective factors on extinction of  F. imperialis  and  F. persica  were investigated in 2 years (2003 and 2004). The important factors were: 1) irregular grazing of  Fritillaria  stands (provenances); 2) in Iran, there is no protecting rule for saving  Fritillaria  from extinction; 3) changing of pastures to dry farms; 4) pest overflows that are related to destruction of pastures; and 5)  Fritillaria  are not commercially cultivated in Iran. Because of poverty, native people eradicate  Fritillaria  with their bulbs and transfer them to florists' shops. Prevention of this tragedy and conservation of  Fritillaria  require international attention. Because of these factors,  Fritillaria  will be removed rapidly from their place of origin.
