It was John Inghamm who found this Crocus on the slope of Kuh-e Sendan Dagh in Iran in 2008. Only described for the first time in 2017 by Janis Ruksans in the first supplement of his book The World of Crocus. The late-flowering C. inghamii differs from C. reinhardii, also found there, among other things with its thin, papery bulbous skin. The pale blue flowers show a large, dark blush on the underside and have a centre stripe. A good growing crocus for a sunny position and permeable soil.

BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF IRIDACEAE
One of the best-known bulbous plants is undoubtedly the crocus. As early as 1548, a publication entitled The Names of Herbes by William Turner described a list of crocuses for the garden. The monograph The World Of Crocus by Janis Ruksans provides us with good insight into this genus. Crocus comprises a very large number of species and the hundreds of cultivars derived from them. The selection, in which we have followed the nomenclature from the new monograph as closely as possible, consists of a fairly broad spectrum including very rare species and cultivars that were sometimes not previously available in the Netherlands. Virtually all crocuses are suitable for naturalization.
