I had to negotiate with the rapacious taxi drivers to take us to the Otrar hotel was booked ready for us, and Julia from the local agents office, phoned soon after to let us know the day’s plan. This allowed us two hours rest before breakfast. At 10am Julia introduced us to Anna and Yerken and we drove with driver Yerlan two hours (80km) north out of town to Lake Kapchagai by the dam on the Ili River. Starting from the rather dilapidated industrial scene and negotiating a crossing of the main road with two imposing policeman we started on the west side of the road. Almost immediately we saw Tulipa kolpakowskiana in flower and our first Ixiolirion tartaricum. Further up the bank we found wonderful specimens of Tulipa albertii, although many flowers had already gone over as spring apparently was unusually advanced. Our tally of Tulips was increased by Tulipa buhsiana but not in flower.

Ornithogalum
NATURALLY SPECIAL Naturalising flower bulbs and specialities for public green spaces! CONTENT Naturally Special! Naturalising bulbs is a specialism within the huge range of spring- flowering bulbs. Naturalising means that a flower bulb can not only sustain itself in the right place, but it can also propagate. There are increasingly more of these bulbs. From our own tests and from countless conversations with people in towns, parks and botanical gardens, we have at last drawn up a list of ‘naturalisers’. In combination with plenty of information about the best location, you can create sustainable planting with this selection. With the dramatic decline in the number of insects due to declining biodiversity, attention is fortunately being paid again to plants as providers of nectar and pollen. Our selection of naturalising bulbs can make a good contribution to this issue in early spring. I have a great passion for new ranges from our fellow breeders, and I had to include some of their lovely specialties in this catalogue. Special but readily available for our large customer base! Enjoy this catalogue full of naturalising bulbs & specialties for public green areas!

Subgen. Rhinopetalum; Liliaceae) Is Described by Alexander Naumenko and Dimitri Zubov
International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 140 The Scottish Rock Garden Club August 2021 ---International Rock Gardener--- August 2021 In IRG 140 a new fritillary species from the Fergana Valley, southern Kyrgyzstan, Fritillaria rugillosa (subgen. Rhinopetalum; Liliaceae) is described by Alexander Naumenko and Dimitri Zubov. Dr Zubov, of the State Institute for Genetic and Regenerative Medicine, National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine; Kyiv, Ukraine, is already familiar to IRG readers for his plant articles and species descriptions – he is also known for his medical science papers, of course. Alexander Naumenko opened the Nova Zahrada nursery in Mořice, in Central Moravia (Czech Republic) in the spring of 2014. He had begun to grow his plant collection fifteen years earlier, in Kyrgyzstan, in Central Asia. In 2012, Alexander wrote, with Dr. Sci. Georgy A. Lazkov, "Растения Кыргызстана" ("Plants of Kyrgyzstan") It contains images of 100 native plants of Kyrgyzstan. Each plant has its Latin name given and a short botanical description in Russian. The second article this month is Patagonian Verbenas - Junellia ( part 1) by Martin Sheader, a marine biologist from Southampton, who is known for a great interest in all plants, particularly those from South America, as well as for his writing, talks and show exhibits. Dr Sheader has travelled extensively in this part of South America and his book ‘Flowers of the Patagonian Mountains’ is the most comprehensive photographic guide yet published to the area’s diverse and fascinating flora. In a foreword to the book, Professor Sir Ghillean Prance FRS, VMH writes enthusiastically about the book, commenting that it is ‘ ..a thoroughly researched botanical field guide based on a huge amount of experience in the field by the authors.

Wild Tulips (Tulipa turkestanica, biflora fosterina, tarda, sylvestris, etc) Lynne Holland, Community Education Assistant UMaine Cooperative Extension Some of the most intriguing flowers in my early spring garden are the “wild” Turkish tulips. These tulips, readily available through regular flower bulb sources are what some believe to the original tulips of Central Asia . By the time “Tulipmania” swept Holland in the 1630’s the hybrid tulips were already the dominant players. When most people think of tulips they think of those hybrid, towering giants found in gardens today. The “wild” tulips I am referring to are reliably perennial, short, fragrant, self-sowing, ground hugging plants with bicolor foliage. It is from these that Turkish hybridizers started hundreds of years before Tulipmania. They are so easy to grow it’s tempting to try them all! Wild Turkish tulips have been recorded as early as the 1590’s in central Asia. Tulip turkestanica and its cousins are multi-flowering, botanical tulips generally with yellow and white star shaped flowers.

Central Asian Wild Tulip Conservation Requires a Regional Approach, Especially in the Face of Climate Change
Biodiversity and Conservation https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-021-02165-z ORIGINAL PAPER Central Asian wild tulip conservation requires a regional approach, especially in the face of climate change Brett Wilson1 · Aibek Dolotbakov2 · Benjamin J. Burgess3 · Colin Clubbe4 · Georgy Lazkov2 · Kaiyrkul Shalpykov2 · Myskalai Ganybaeva2 · Ormon Sultangaziev5 · Samuel F. Brockington1 Received: 16 November 2020 / Revised: 2 March 2021 / Accepted: 9 March 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Tulips (Tulipa spp.) are one of the most widely appreciated plants worldwide, nevertheless species taxonomy and biogeography are often poorly understood. Most wild tulips inhabit the mountains of Central Asia, a recognised biodiversity hotspot, and a centre of tulip diversity. Despite the presence of several country-level endemic Tulipa species, most taxa span the borders of several nations. With no globally Red Listed tulip taxa from this region national level conservation assessments are an important resource. Nonetheless, threats posed to tulips are still inadequately understood, especially climate change, and given the trans-national nature of most species, distributional information is restricted and often misleading. Here we collate 330 species records from the Global Biodiversity Informa- tion Facility with 85 newly collected records, to undertake species distribution modelling (MaxEnt) for ten native Central Asian species. This work showed that regional level mod- els provide a much more comprehensive understanding of species’ extinction risks, propor- tions of habitat in diferent countries, and limitations in protected area coverage. Further- more, our climate modelling, the frst of its kind for tulips, suggests that climate change will have a signifcant negative impact on the range size of all species; including those that are currently widespread.

Abstract To elucidate the affinity and phylogeny of the endemic North American genus Uvularia, two chloroplast genes, matK and rbcL, were sequenced for all five species of the genus {Uvularia floridana, U. grandifolia, U. per- foliata, U. puberula, and U. sessilifolia) and four selected members of the Liliales (Erythronium japonicum, Disporum sessile, Medeola virginiana, and Clintonia borealis). Sequence data of both matK and rbcL genes support an Uvularia which consist of two clades, section Oakesiella and section Uvularia. Though sessile-leaved and associated with sec- tion Oakesiella, U. puberula exhibits several intermediate characteristics between the sections. However, the overall molecular results correspond to an earlier sub-grouping based upon gross morphology, karyology and ecological life history traits. These two cpDNA genes, notably matK tree, proved to be informative in reaffirming relationships with- in Uvularia.
