Notes.

Tulipa annae was described in 2020 from plants grown in a cultural collection in the Netherlands and bulbs collected at the Marble Pass in eastern Kazakhstan. This species is morphologically similar to T. altaica but differs by the presence of short hairs on the leaves, a smaller overall habit, the ovary shorter than the stamens and a tunic on the bulb elongated into a long spout. Tulipa annae is named after Anna Ivaschenko, a well-known botanist living and working in Almaty, Kazakhstan ( de Groot and Zonneveld 2020). Based on the results of our research, this species was listed for the first time in the Dzungarian Alatau (Taskora Gorge) based on the photographic observations by Kolbintsev (2016). Due to the relative paucity of information on T. annae in the literature, further studies are needed regarding its distribution, abundance, and conservation status.
