Tulipa regelii, the plicate tulip or Regel's tulip, is a species of tulip native to southeast Kazakhstan.[2] Rare, growing only in certain dry, rocky areas in the Chu-Ili Range, a northern subrange of the Tian Shan range, it is a very distinctive species with bizarre plicate leaves, usually only one, occasionally two.[3][4] The species was first formally named by Russian botanist and geographer Andrej Nikolaevich Krasnov [ru]. It flowers in April.[5]
