Taxonomy


The Latin specific epithet greigi honors the Russian Samuel Greig,[4] (1735-1788, "Father of the Russian navy")[5] due to Greig once being president of the Russian Horticultural Society.[6]

The tulip was originally found in Turkestan,[7] and then published and described by Eduard August von Regel in Gartenflora Vol.22 on page 290 in 1873.[3]


Description


Tulipa greigii typically grows 8–12 in (20–30 cm) tall, they have single flowers with a bowl-like shape, blooming in early to mid-spring. They also have spotted and striped leaves and the flowers are quite large, up to 4 in (102 mm) wide. The blooms are more limited in colour shades than with other tulips, ranging from red and yellow to white.[8]

It is known for its variegated green and purple-maroon leaves. Its cultivars 'Oratorio',[9] 'Plaisir',[10] 'Red Riding Hood',[11] 'Toronto',[12] and 'United States' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[13]
