Soon after its discovery on the Central Asian mountain slopes the Kaufmann's tulip was introduced to Europe. In 1872 the Dutch company Van Tubergen bought the first species and started the wide-scale selling of the bulb. The tulip was described in 1877 by Eduard Regel of the St. Petersburg Botanic Garden. The tulip was named after K. von Kaufmann, the governor of Tashkent at that time.
Kaufmann's tulips are relatively low with an average height of 15 centimeters. The flower is long and white with a yellow tint on the inside and pink on the outside. It is one of the first tulips to start blooming. In its own habitat it can be found on rocky mountain slopes close to the snow edge.
