The following Species of Bearded Iris are similar in habit of growth but distinct in colouration from the 
loregoing. They are remarkably beautiful, and should form part of every collection of Iris. Albicans is the pure 
white I ortuguese Ins ; 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 Ins. The varieties of Sambucina are remarkable for their striking combinations of colour. 
Aurca is the self.coloured Bearded Iris ; and Flavescens the primrose-coloured Iris.

BEARDLESS SPECIES OF FLAG IRIS. 
The Iris offered in this section are altogether distinct from the Barbata group ; and they are equally 
v i^ 0St j!? ar ® £ ran d aquatics, especially Aurea, Monneri, Ochroleuca , Goldenstadtii, the varieties of 
rseudo-A corns, and Spuria ; not only are these majestic in growth, but the flowers are surpassingly beautiful, 
ine 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 ; Fcetidissima 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 
ana Susiana possess a beauty peculiarly 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 July : 
Versicolor and Virgimca 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. Setosa is also a gem ; Spuria major 
is as remarkable as it is beautiful ; Longipetala and Brevijlora are charming; Graminea latifolia has remarkably 
graceful foliage, and flowers as distinctive as they are beautiful.
