Iris gracilipes
is a perennial herb inhabiting somewhat dry
forests or rocky areas in hilly districts. Compared to the species Iris
japonica,
the whole plant of Iris pseudacorus is significantly smaller, and
the leaves are tender and arranged in clusters. Flower stalks grow
to 15-30cm in height and set light purple flowers; the outer tepals
have purple veins, yellow patches, and head crest-like thick yellow
projections, as with the mentioned earlier
Iris japonica.
I. gracillipes fruit well; the capsules are spherical and measure
8mm in diameter. Bloom time: May-June. |
