Cyclamen alpinum (= Cyclamen trochopteranthum) is a perennial plant growing from a tuber, native to an area of southwestern Turkey, northwest of Antalya. It is isolated from other species of the Cyclamen coum group.
The scientific name Cyclamen alpinum has been applied to three other species as well: Cyclamen coum, Cyclamen cilicium, and Cyclamen intaminatum (as a variety of C. cilicium).
The flowers have five petals, pale rose-pink to pink-carmine or white with a dark magenta spot at the nose. The petals are spreading rather than fully upswept and often twisted like the blades of a propeller, as in Cyclamen parviflorum var. subalpinum.
