Albert Tulip (Tulipa Alberti Regel) was described in 1877 from Mount Kuyunkuz according to the collections of Albert Regel, in whose honor it was named. It is an endemic of Kazakhstan that is listed in the Red Book. You can find it in Syrdarya Karatau, Chu-lli mountains, in the south of the Betpakdala desert, in the Chulak Mountains and along the banks of the Kapchagai reservoir. It grows on the dry slopes of lowlands, gravelly and clayey plains. It has the richest variety of flower colors. Like many other species of tulips its various variations are often concentrated on a small area, so the flowering thickets look remarkably spectacular.

It attracts not only with a beautiful flower but, also, with unusually bluish leaves which makes it very attractive even with a low stalk. It blooms from early April to the end of the first decade of May. The density of populations is not high - under the most favorable conditions, an average of about 16 individuals per 1m2. It propagates itself by seeds. In undisturbed habitats the condition of the species is good - the populations are represented by all age groups and are adequately provided with the undergrowth. In areas with a high grazing intensity the species density decreases, the proportion of young individuals decreases in a half. It is less successful in culture than the two previous species - seedlings bloom later, adult plants fall out faster. It is protected in the Karatau reserve and the Altyn- Emel national park.
