Tulips Named by Error in 16th Century Turkish Contact
Busbequius, Austria's ambassador to Turkey, described tulips in the mid sixteenth century and noted the Turkish term Tulipam. Confusion arose from an interpreter likening flowers to the fez via the word tulband meaning headgear cloth. The Grand Vizier Ibraim Pasha reportedly kept a tulip gardener with 1,823 varieties. The Turks call tulips by the Persian word lale.
