 IRIS RETICULATA. 



Cla*s. Order. 



TR141VDR/A MONOGYNJA 



This is a native of Iberia, and has been 

 very lately introduced : it is perfectly hardy, 

 and flowers the beginning of March. 



It is a beautiful little plant, but appears 

 to be rather difficult of culture, especially 

 in our impure atmosphere, so different 



from its native element. 



We have hitherto preserved it in a pot, 

 1 in light sandy loam, and hope to be able to 



i increase it by offsets in course of time.
