Tulipa anisophylla

The overall population of this species is estimated to be between 5,000 and 12,000 mature individuals with a best estimate of around 8,000, based on counts of subpopulations with the largest subpopulation estimated to be around 1,000 mature individuals. In Tajikistan, there are approximately 5,000–10,000 flowering individuals under the synonym name Tulipa korshinskyi (Christenhusz et al. 2013) and around 1,000 under the name Tulipa anisophylla. In Uzbekistan there are an estimated 100–200 mature individuals and certainly no more than 1,000, all reported under the name Tulipa korshinskyi (Christenhusz et al. 2013, Tojibaev and Beshko 2015). There are a range of threats, primarily mining activities and infrastructure development, that have caused historical declines and continue to cause declines in mature individuals especially in the Darvoz region. These threats are unlikely to cease and it is projected that the overall population will decline by 5-10%, with 10% the best estimate, in the next three generations due to these threats. In Darvoz the declines will be greater with 10-15% of the population in this region disappearing in three generations. Subpopulations at higher elevations are under less threat than those in lower areas. In Uzbekistan only a single subpopulation has historically been recorded, however there is no current information to confirm this subpopulation still exists and therefore its actual presence in Uzbekistan is uncertain.
