Group II. Beardless Iris (Apogon) 

 AND Crested Iris (Evansia) 



This group is derived from species 

 from Europe, Asia, and America, which, 

 as a rule, prefer moist soils. The root is 

 a rhizome, but fibrous, and, like most 

 herbaceous plants, will not stand long 

 exposure to air and drought. The 

 leaves are more grass-like than those of 

 Pogoniris, while the flower, as is indi- 

 cated by the name, lacks the beard 

 on the fall of the Pogoniris varieties.
