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 ; Ganymede 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. 
Aurea is the self-coloured Bearded Iris ; and Flavescens the primrose-coloured Iris.

The Iris offered in this section are perfectly hardy, and altogether distinct from the Barbata group. Most 
of them make grand aquatics especially Aurea, Monneri, Ochroleuca , Goldenstadtii, the varieties of Pseudo - 
Acorus, and Spuria, which in water are not only majestic in growth, but have flowers surpassingly beautiful. 
The 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 marsh 
aquatics. Cristata is charming when grown on banks and rock-work in sunny sheltered places ; Iberica and 
Susiana require special treatment, and these Dr. Foster grows successfully, planted in a frame from which 
all moisture is excluded from the middle of June to the middle of October. From October till in flower the 
lights are removed and the plants exposed to all weathers. From a very small space, Dr. Foster cut last season 
a large quantity of the finest flowers of Iberica wc ever before saw. Fcetidissima is valuable for damp shady 
situations, and is prized for its seed vessels ; Tectorum is found on the thatched roofs of Chinese houses. 
Cristata forms a tuft where it is happy, and in such a place we saw, last season, a large patch in May 
covered with hundreds or it may have been thousands of flowers and flower buds. They were packed so closely 
together, we did not venture to count them, as the patch was a dense mass of the richest amethystine-blue flowers, 
surpassing any sight of the kind we had ever before seen. Iberica and Susiana possess a beauty peculiarly 
their own. Stylosa prefers a somewhat dry situation, and established plants ; were in flower with us at Tooting, 
from January to April ; for indoor decoration it has been strongly recommended. Tuberosa, the snake’s-head 
Iris, is perhaps the most fantastic flovver which March produces. Ruthenica is remarkable for its fan-like dwarf 
growth and elegant blue flowers in July ; Versicolor and Virginica are very beautiful ; Orientalis is a splendid 
form of Sibirica, but with larger flowers, and more decided colour, which in refinement is unsurpassed. Setosa
