Well, sounds like I set you on a real adventure Moira!

As it happens, I am a botanist so go ahead and send me the references.

I've also attached a powerpoint from Israel that includes images of
the tulips - there are three species, polychroma, systola, and
agenensis.

Enjoy!
First of all Nan I must apologise for inadvertantly sending you no less than three copies of the original reply. Let's just say I suffered a senior moment.
The path to my information through Google led via "Flora of Israel" to the Flora itself on line. This comes up dauntingly in Hebrew, but in the left hand corner of the masthead is the word English and when you have clicked on that you will find Search on the extreme right of the menue from which there is an orderly progression to the wanted information.
It would seem if one is to believe the Hebrew University that the latest thinking recognises only two Negev species. They reckon all red desert tulips are A systola and agenensis is confined to Mediterranean Maquis and forest.
Thanks for the powerpoint it was really beautiful and Tony and I certainly enjoyed it.. 
Moira
