BEARDLESS Species of FLAG IRISES. 
The Iris offered in this section are all perfectly hardy, and quite distinct from the Bearded group. Most of them 
make grand aquatics, especially A urea, Monnierii , Ochroleuca, Gueldcnstaedtii alba, and 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 , Ruthenica , Stylosa, Tectorum, and Tuberosa , may be grown as marsh aquatics. 
Cristata , with its lovely amethyst-blue flowers, is charming on banks and rock-work in sunny sheltered places, 
and likes to be moderately dry during winter. Fcetidissima is valuable for damp shady situations, and its seed 
vessels are much prized in winter ; Tectorum is found on the thatched roofs of Chinese houses, where it gets a 
good roasting in summer. 
Stylosa prefers a somewhat dry situation. 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 July ; Versicolor and Virginica are very beautiful ; Orientalis is a splendid form of Sibirica, but with larger 
flowers, and more decided colour. Notha, Longipetala and Breviflora are all charming ; Graminea latifolia has 
remarkably graceful foliage, and flowers as distinct as they are beautiful.
