Notes upon various Species of Iridaceze and other Orders. 
By Tuomas MORONG. 
IRIDACEE. 
Two species of /ris must be added to the list of those within 
the range of A. Gray’s Manual, Ed. 6, and one other if Canada be 
included. 
Iris Germanica, L., the great violet-colored flag of Middle 
Europe, was found by Mr. A. A. Heller during the last year ap- 
parently. well established near Mt. Crawford, Western Virginia. 
Probably a garden escape. 
Iris Missouriensis, Nutt. (J. Tolmieana, Herb.) occurs in Mis- 
souri and Nebraska, and more commonly towards the southwest. 
Iris Hookeri, Penny, Steud. Nom. Bot. Pt. 1, 822 (1840). This 
has been established as a good species by Mr. Watson (Coult. 
Bot. Gaz. xii. 100). It occurs in Newfoundland and along the 
lower St. Lawrence (Pringle). /. Canadensis, which one might at 
first thought imagine it to be, has not yet been identified. This, 
as nearly as we can judge, is merely a form of J. versicolor, L.., but 
may prove distinct when we come to understand the Cinadian 
species more thoroughly. 
Tris tridentata, Pursh, not hitherto detected in our territory, is 
most commonly called /. ¢ripetala, Walter, but Walter's name is 
antedated by J. ¢ripetala, L. f. Supp. 97 (1781), a different species, 
now transferred to Morea, but remaining a synonym nevertheless. 
SISYRINCHIUM. 
The species of the Atlantic States should be eciad S&S. Be 
mudianum, L., in spite of the fact that it is not known to occur in 
Bermuda, as this was undoubtedly the original name given to it
