A Broad-Petalled Iris 



The form of the iris is characteristic, and there is not as 

 wide variation in this regard among the different varieties of 

 this tribe as among many others. Yet the form of the petals may be 

 very conspicuously modified, as this specimen shows. In- 

 teresting studies in form variation might be made by 

 crossing such a specimen as this with the 

 one shown in the preceding picture.
