ABSTRACT: Central Asia is considered to be the primary center
of origin and diversity for the genus Tulipa L. (Liliaceae). The
article considers the species of rare and endemic Tulipa L. species in the arid regions of Uzbekistan. There
are nine registered species of the genus Tulipa. In the course of the study, the demographic
indicators of the modern population of 39 populations were evaluated. 39 populations of the studied species were
identified, most of which grow in the composition of the wormwood formations
characteristic of the Turanian floristic province.
