Tulipa sylvestris, the wild tulip [3] or woodland tulip, [4] is a Eurasian and North African species of wild tulip, a plant in the lily family. Its native range extends from Portugal and Morocco to western China, covering most of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins, and Central Asia. The species is also cultivated as an ornamental and naturalized in central and northern Europe as well as a few scattered locations in North America. [2] [5] It was first recorded as being naturalised in Britain in the late 17th century. [6]
It is a bulb-forming perennial, with narrow blue-grey leaves and usually with 1 or 2 flowers per stem. [6] The stem can reach up to 50 cm tall. The scented blooms appear between April and May, [6] and the yellow flowers are sometimes tinged red on the outside. [7] [8] [9] [10]
They rarely produce seed and are pollinated by small insects. [6]

Tulips are spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes in the Tulipa genus. Their flowers are usually large, showy, and brightly coloured, generally red, orange, pink, yellow, or white. They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals, internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the lily family, Liliaceae, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium, and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae.
