(Johan Martin Christian Lange, 1860). Section Iris , Height 16-20" (40-55 cm) Usually white flowered with a few olive green veins at haft, beard white tipped yellow becoming all yellow in throat. Evergreen foliage. Of all the tall-bearded Iris species that have been reported with white flowers this can be easily distinguished by its form of branching. This can be separated from the other three, Iris germanica, Iris florentina, and Iris kashmiriana, by its short branches and almost spur-like secondary branches. It is a very intriguing species in that we are still unsure of from where it originates. Although it is said to come from Yemen, it is so widely planted on muslem gravesites, it can be found throughout the Mediterranean region.
