Tulipa urumiensis, the late tulip or tardy tulip, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae. It is a perennial growing from a bulb. By some sources the accepted name is Tulipa tarda. It has a leathery tunic that is glabrous on the inside.[2] It has up to seven linear green leaves that can be up to 20 cm long. The stem is between 4 and 20 cm long. The yellow flowers have white tips, anthers and stamen are yellow.[3]

Tulipa urumiensis is native to central Asia, growing in rocky subalpine meadows in the Tian Shan.[4] It was confused with Tulipa dasystemon for a long time, and only scientifically described in 1932 by Otto Stapf and again as T. tarda in 1933.[5]

The plant blooms in late April and early May in the Northern Hemisphere.[3] The plant was accorded the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit in 1993.[6][7]
