Tulipa altaica is a species of tulip found in Russia, Kazakhstan, and China.
Tulipa altaica is a perennial , herbaceous plant that grows between 10 and 20 centimeters high (rarely up to 35 centimeters).
The egg-shaped bulb has a diameter of 2 to 3.5 cm and is lengthened slightly at the tip. The paper-like outer skin that covers the bulb is brown and hairy or bald on the inside.
The sprout axis is hairy in the upper part. The plant has three or four grayish green leaves that are ovate to lanceolate. They are variable in size but do not exceed the flower size. Leaves are between 0.6 and 3 centimeters (less than 5 centimeters) wide and glabrouse or slightly hairy. The leaf edges are often corrugated. [2]
The plant blooms with a single flower. The six petals elongated or oblongate, diamond-shaped, pointed to pointed, periosteums are between 2 and 3.5 centimeters long and 0.5 to 2 centimeters wide. They are yellow and on the outside greenish-purple or pink. The six stamens are 0.4 to 0.5 times as long as the perine leaves, bald and narrowed from the ground. The pollen measures 38.4 to 40.3 x 53.7 to 67.2 microns. Three apertures (germ openings) are located on the pollen granules. The exine is 1.9 microns thick. The stylus is very short.
After fertilization mature broadly ellipsoidal capsule fruits measure 2.5 to 4 × 1.5 to 2 centimeters. Tulipa altaica blooms in May and fruits in June and July. The chromosome number is 2n = 24, more rarely 48. [3]
The main distribution area of Tulipa altaica is in the Altai mountains. It also occurs in the northwest of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in the People's Republic of China and parts of Kazakhstan. Tulipa altaica grows in thickets and on sunny slopes at altitudes between 1300 and 2600 meters.
Tulipa altaica is cultivated as an ornamental plant, and has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [4]
Tulipa turkestanica, the Turkestan tulip, is a species of tulip native to Central Asia. It was first described by Eduard August von Regel in 1873 as a variety of T. sylvestris, then elevated to full species status two years later.
Brunfelsia pauciflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, the nightshades. It is endemic to Brazil, and it is grown in cultivation. A shrubby perennial plant grown in gardens, its common names include today, tomorrow together, yesterday, today and tomorrow, morning-noon-and-night, kiss me quick, and Brazil raintree.
Tulips (Tulipa) are a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes. The 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.
Deutzia gracilis, the slender deutzia or Japanese snow flower, is a species of flowering plant in the hydrangea family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan.

Prunus sibirica, called Siberian apricot, is a species of shrub or small tree native to northern China, Korea, Mongolia, and eastern Siberia. It is in the genus Prunus in the rose family, Rosaceae, one of several species whose fruit are called apricot, although this species is rarely cultivated for its fruit. The species was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.
Leucospermum arenarium is a lax, evergreen shrub, with arching and drooping branches, that has been assigned to the family Proteaceae. It has loosely spaced, upright, greyish, narrowly egg-shaped to line-shaped leaves, mostly without teeth and flattened globe-shaped flower heads of 5–7 cm across, consisting of mostly creamy, seldom yellow flowers, that curve in the bud to the center of the head. From the center of the flowers emerge curved styles that jointly give the impression of a pincushion. The common name in English is Redelinghuys pincushion. It only occurs in a very small area in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It flowers between July and October. Unlike in related species the flowers are pollinated by hairy-footed gerbils and striped field mice.
Mitrephora pallens is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Vietnam. Suzanne Jovet-Ast, the French botanist who first formally described the species, named it after its pale flowers.
