Cyclamen graecum, the Greek cyclamen, is a perennial plant in the flowering plant family Primulaceae that grows from a tuber. It is native to southern Greece, southern Turkey and neighboring islands and is prized for its variable leaf forms, which include some of the most striking of any cyclamen.

The tuber is corky, with thick, strong, fleshy anchor roots sprouting from the center of the bottom. Leaves are heart-shaped and toothed. Flowers bloom in autumn and have 5 petals, white or pink with a darker blotch at the nose. They are often fragrant. The bases of the petals are curled outwards into auricles, like Cyclamen hederifolium. After pollination, the flower stem coils both directions, starting from the center, not from the top as in Cyclamen hederifolium.

Grey-Wilson (1997) distingishes various taxa based on flowering period and petal colour: 1. Flowers borne in the autumn ................................................................................................C. persicum var. autumnale ... Flowers borne in the late winter and spring: C. persicum var. persicum ............................................................. 2 2. Flowers white or very pale pink, with deep pink round the base ............. C. persicum var. persicum forma persicum ... Flowers pure white ............................................................................... C. persicum var. persicum forma albidum ... Flowers mid- to deep rose-pink, uniformly coloured or rather deeper around the nose ................................................................................................................. C. persicum var. persicum forma roseum ... Flowers red to carmine ......................................................................... C. persicum var. persicum forma puniceum The leaves are cordate, up to 14cm (5.6 inches) long and up to 13.5 cm (5.4 inches) wide, and green, often with marbling on the upper surface. A silver-leafed form also exists. Chromosome count: 2n=48.
