Tulipa agenensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae.[1] It is native to Turkey, Iran, Cyprus, the Aegean Islands, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, and is naturalized in the central and western Mediterranean (Italy, Tunisia, France, Portugal, Moldova, etc.).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Tulipa agenensis is a bulb-forming perennial. The flowers are brick red or deep red with black and yellow markings toward the center with a green stem. The petals are oval, tapered with curled tips and it has green and lanceolate foliage.[8]

## Taxonomy

[edit]

In Italy, it was commonly known as the 'Red Tulip of Bologne'.[9]

The specific epithet agenensis, refers to the French town of Agen, where a wild colony of the tulips were found.[9]

T. agenensis was originally described and published by Pierre-Joseph Redouté in his painted series 'Les Liliacées' Vol.1 in February 1804.[10][11]

## Culture

[edit]

A painting by the Dutch artist Jacob de Gheyn II, 'Vase of Flowers with a Curtain' in 1615, has several tulips including a hybrid Tulipa hungarica crossed with Tulipa agenensis. While Osias Beert I painting Flowers in a glass vase in a niche (undated but c.1606), also has several tulips including the Red tulip, Tulipa agenensis.[8]
