The following Species of Bearded Iris are similar in habit of growth but distinct in colouration from the 
foregoing. They are remarkably beautiful, and should form part of every collection of Iris. Albicans is the pure 
white Portuguese Iris ; Ganymedes is very remarkable from the standards being mottled purple, and yellow • 
Innocenza has a beautiful rosy reticulation on the white ; Lurida is richly scented ; Sub-biflora is the richest of 
all the Purple Iris. The varieties of Sambucina are remarkable for their striking combinations of colour. 
Kashmirtana is the recently introduced white Iris from India; A urea is the self-coloured Bearded Iris* and 
Flavescens the primrose-coloured Iris.

. BEARDLESS SPECIES OF FLAG IRIS. 
Iris offered in this section are altogether distinct from the Barbata group ; and they are equally 
^ r dy. Most of them are grand aquatics, especially Aurea, Monneri, Ochroleuca, Goldenstadtii, the varieties of 
Fseudo-Acorus, and Spuria ; not only are these majestic in growth, but the flowers are surpassingly beautiful. 
I he varieties of Sibirica, including Orientalis, are graceful in water. All the other Iris in this group, with the 
exception of Cristata, Iberica, Ruthenica, Stylosa, Susiana, Tectorum, and Tuberosa may be grown as Aquatics 
or Sub-Aquatics. Cristata is charming on dry banks and rock-work ; Iberica and Susiana require a dry hot 
situation ; Fcctidissima is valuable for damp shady situations ; Tectorum is found on the thatched roofs of 
Chinese houses. 
Cristata forms a tuft where it is happy, and when covered with its amethystine flowers is a gem. Iberica 
and Susiana possess a beauty pecidiarly their own. Stylosa unfolds its charming blue blossoms in winter, and is 
recommended for indoor decoration. Tuberosa, the snake's-head Iris, is perhaps the most fantastic flower which 
March produces. Ruthenica is remarkable for its fan-like dwarf growth and elegant blue flowers in Tuly ; 
Versicolor and Virginica are very beautiful ; while Orientalis is a form of Sibirica, with flowers larger, more 
decided m colour, and in refinement unsurpassed by any other flower. Sctosa is also a gem ; Spuria major 
is as remarkable as it is beautiful ; Longipetala and Brcviflora are charming; Graminea lalifolia has remarkably 
graceful foliage, and flowers as distinctive as they are beautiful.
