#RedBook🌷 Tulipa affinis (Relative Tulip) A rare endemic plant of the Western Pamir-Alay region, found only in limited areas. Its bright red flower with a black center and yellow border makes the plant especially striking — but this beauty is also one of the reasons it is often destroyed. 📍Distribution In Uzbekistan, it grows in the Jizzakh, Samarkand, and Navoi regions — on the Turkestan and Malguzar mountain ranges and in the Nurata Mountains. It is also found in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The plant grows on rocky slopes, in gorges, and among shrubs and juniper woodlands. 🌱Plant characteristics ▫️ Perennial bulbous plant, 15–25 cm tall ▫️ Blooms in April–May ▫️ Reproduces by seeds and vegetatively ▫️ Occurs rarely in nature — as single plants or small groups ⚠️Why the species is under threat The main reasons for the population decline are mass collection of flowers and livestock grazing, which destroy the plant’s natural habitat. 🌿Conservation status The plant has been cultivated in the Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan since 1957 and is protected in Zaamin State Reserve and Nurata State Reserve. 💚 Protecting rare plants is an important part of preserving biodiversity. Take care of nature and do not pick wild flowers. ☘️Read the latest environmental news on the @ekologuz page.
