This tulip species from Turkey is sadly extinct in the wild:

"Tulipa sprengeri is a tulip with a more than usually interesting history in cultivation. A single bulb was found in a shipment to the Dutch bulb firm of Van Tubergen from their collector in Turkey, J. J. Manissaadjian before World War I. It has been traced to the region about Amasya, but has never again been found in the wild."
