Iris sp
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This catalogue entry names only the genus Iris, without an epithet allowing the exact species to be identified; the retained name could not be verified with confidence. The genus Iris (Iridaceae) comprises several hundred perennial species with rhizomes or bulbs, distributed across the temperate Northern Hemisphere, with sheathing sword-shaped leaves and characteristic flowers of three drooping falls and three upright standards. Given the surrounding catalogue context, it may be a bulbous iris of the Juno or Oncocyclus group from Central Asia or the Near East, but this remains speculative. Species not confirmed; description given at genus level.
