Revision of the genus Tulipa L. Following detailed morphological and cytotaxonomic studies of the taxa, Tulipa in Turkey has been found to be represented by 17 species, two subspecies and two varieties in total 19 taxa. A new key for the species and detailed descriptions of taxa are provided, as are synonyms and typification as far as possible, distribution, habitat types, localities and conservation status of all taxa.
These studies are based on approximately fresh and herbarium specimens. Tulipa subgenus Eriostemones is divided into two sections following Baker's treatment: Sylvestres and Saxatiles.
However, section Sylvestres is again divided into two subsections following Baker and Hall's treatments: Sylvestres and Biflores here described. Section Saxatiles is further divided into three subsections, with the addition of two new subsections: Saxatiles, Orphanidetes and Humiles.
The type subgenus Tulipa is divided into two sections: Tulipa and Clusianae. In subsection Humiles, T. Some previously uncollected species T. Columbia University Press, New York, pp. Ali, S.
