Yes, you did. You said “No such thing as Tulipa clusiana var. clusiana or 
Tulipa clusiana f. clusiana exists in nature.”

This contradicts what is said in the Kew monograph. A taxon found in Iran, 
Afghanistan, and Pakistan can scarcely be the same genetically-identical 
plant, reproducing by means other than seed. (Still not a "clone", by the 
way.)

"The old pentaploid clone".  That a plant does not behave in climates 
dissimilar to the way it would in a climate in which it evolved is not a 
basis for creating a distinction.
It seeds here. As I said earlier.
