description: 5.7. Tulipa dasystemonoides Vved. in Byull. Sredne-Aziatsk. Gosud. Univ. 21: 147. (1935).
Type:— KAZAKHSTAN. Altai Talac, 11 June 1909, Minkwitz 1365 (holotype LE!).
Description:—Bulb ovoid, 1.0–1.5(2.0) cm thick; tunic blackish-brown, sub-coriaceous, the inner surface densely covered with woolly hairs at the apex; stem 7–15 cm long, often red-tinged, the stem and peduncle densely pubescent; leaves 2, more or less approximate, commonly spreading, glabrous, smooth, linear, significantly exceeding the flower; lower leaf broader, 6–12 mm broad; flowers 1(2), opens to a wide creamy-white star with a large yellow blotch (rarely yellow without blotch); perigone segments 15–25 mm long, acuminate; outer segments lanceolate, dingy violet outside, glabrous, two-thirds as broad as the inner; inner segments oblong, gradually tapering into a claw, more or less ciliate at base; filaments yellow, thread-like, dilated and bearded at base, half the length of perigone; anthers linearoblong, yellow, 4–5 mm long, with a very short cusp; ovary pale green, about half the length of the stamens, with a long style and cream-coloured overlapping stigma; capsule pale beige with darker angles, rounded, up to 3.5×2.0 cm, with a short beak.
General distribution:—Tian-Shan, Pamir-Alay (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan).
Distribution in Uzbekistan:—I-1 Western Tian-Shan district (I-1-a Ugam-Pskem region; I-1-b Western Chatkal region; I-1-d Kurama region), I-3 Fergana-Alay district (I-3-b Eastern Alay region), I-5 Kuhistan district (I-1-a North Turkestan region).
Phenology:—Flowering: April–July; fruiting: July–August.
Ecology:—Fine earth, gravelly and stony slopes, in upper mountain zone, 2500–3500 m a.s.l.
Etymology:—Species epithet “ dasystemonoides ” means “similar to T. dasystemon ” (hairy stamen).
Note:— Van Raamsdonk et al. (1997) and Christenhusz et al. (2013) consider the species as synonym to T. dasystemon. According to Zonneveld (2009), these two species have different amount of nuclear DNA, 57.7 pg for T. dasystemoniodes and 51.5 pg for T. dasystemon. Morphologically, these species differ well from each other with bulb tunics (Vvedensky 1935, Hall 1940, Botschantzeva 1962). Tulipa dasystemonoides sometimes has two flowers per stem, while T. dasystemon always has a single flower (Vvedensky 1935, Hall 1940, Botschantzeva 1962). There is a similarity between Т. dasystemon and T. dasystemonoides, but T. dasystemonoides possesses densely wooly tunic and usually creamy-white flower (Everett et al. 2013). They also show differences in bulb characteristics.
