 IRIS CRASSIFOLIA. 



Class. Order. 



TBI A NDRIA MONOG YN1A. 



This is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and has been lately introduced. It 

 is nearly allied to the I. Morseoides. It 

 flowers sparingly in July and August, and 

 requires the protection of the greenhouse. 

 The soil should be sandy loam, and the 

 roots may be occasionally separated for in- 

 crease, in which it appears to be slow.
