Tulipa biflora, the two-flowered tulip, is a species of tulip, native to the former Yugoslavia, Crimea, Anatolia, the Caucasus, southern Russia, Egypt, the Middle East, Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Xinjiang in China. It has many synonyms, including Tulipa polychroma.[2][4]

It can be found on screes, rocky slopes,[5] grassy slopes and deserts.[6][7] It can be found in the salt deserts in the basin of the Wolga and it can often found with the small yellow tulip, Tulipa sylvestris.[8]

Cultivated, it has two, occasionally one or three, flowers borne on a single stalk.[9] It has stems that can grow up to 10cm tall,[5] with 2 (sometimes more) grey-green leaves.[10] They are lanceolate (lance-like in shape.[8] It blooms between late winter to spring, and the flowers are 2-3.5cm long. They are white with a yellow centre, the tepal (smaller petal) have greenish-grey backs.[10] The flowers are fragrant.[8]

Most parts of plant are poisonous if they are ingested.[11]
