Introduction. Meadow saffron (Colchicum autumnale L.) is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lily family (Liliacea). It is similar to the edible wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.). Toxic substance in meadow saffron is alkaloid colchicine. Colchicine poisoning is a very dangerous condition which can lead to a fatal outcome. Case report. A 50-yearsold male was addmited to the hospital complaining of weakness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea without blood. The day before, the patient ate two plants thinking they were wild garlic and seven hours after ingestion he felt first symptoms. During the course of the hospital stay, he had gastroenterocolitis, acute renal faliure, hepatic lesions and cardiorespiratory insufficiency with a fatal outcome. Post-mortem examination revealed: brain oedema, lung oedema and congestion, heart weighing 700 g with ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, liver congestion and steatosis, spleen congestion, pancreatic fibrosis. Organs sections were taken for histopathological analysis. Body fluids and parts of organs were toxicologically analyzed. Histopathological findings were: brain oedema, diffuse perivascular and interstitial myocardial fibrosis, myocardial haemorrhage, lungs congestion and oedema, microvesicular and macrovesicular liver steatosis, centrilobular liver necrosis, lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate in liver portions, red pulp congestion of the spleen, kidney congestion and interstitial bleeding, coagulation necrosis of the proximal tubules of the kidney. Toxicological analysis showed colchicine in the blood ? 0.011 mg/L, urine ? 0.051 mg/L, liver with gallbladder ? 0.007 mg/kg, kidney ? 0.008 mg/kg. Conclusion. Ingestion of meadow saffron can lead to poisoning with a fatal outcome due to the presence of the alkaloid colchicine. Colchicine intoxication should be suspected in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms after consuming wild plants.

The paper describes the past and present distribution of Colchicum autumnale in the vicinity of Cracow, highlights the role of Stanisław Dembosz (who published the first locality of C. autumnale near Igołomia in 1841). Gives information about the occurrence of C. autumnale in Krzeszowice in the 19th century (reported by Bronisław Gustawicz), presents new localities noted in 2012–2014 in meadows in the north-eastern part of the Puszcza Niepołomicka forest and adjacent area (between the Vistula and Raba rivers), and gives a locality found in Cracow in 2005 (no longer extant).
