The small flower is discovered during an expedition in central Asia and DNA-tested in Cambridge.
Mr Wilson, who has been working on tulip conservation for five years, said: "It turned out to be something completely different - we had found what was likely to be a new species, but we wanted to be sure before we set to work formally describing it."
The plant, which ranges in height from 10cm to 19cm , was discovered in the mountainous Toktogul region of the former Soviet Union republic in central Asia, and is named after it.
