Iridacea inconnu ‘Ile Maurice’

This plant, labelled "unidentified Iridaceae, Mauritius," could not be identified to genus or species; the following description therefore remains at family level, for guidance only. No Iridaceae are native to Mauritius, so this may be an introduced, naturalised plant, or a garden hybrid whose origin has been lost. The family comprises perennials growing from bulbs, corms or rhizomes, with generally sheathing, equitant leaves and flowers with three or six coloured perianth parts. In the absence of reliable identification, no precise flowering time or cultivation requirements can be guaranteed for this particular specimen.
