SUNDRY SPECIES OF IRIS. 
We enumerate under this heading a few rare, curious, and beautiful species. For example, /. Iberica, a 
dwarf plant, with large flowers, the colours bright, beautiful, and in curious combinations. The Woodcut on 
p. 71 represents the flower, and in the Garden of 2 nd December, 1876 , a beautiful coloured plate is given, as an 
accompaniment to the Monograph of the genus Iris. /. Susiana, though a perfectly distinct plant and with 
larger flowers, is in the way of I. Iberica. I. Caucasica is a curious dwarf plant, the foliage has a silvery margin, 
and the flowers are of a transparent greenish primrose. /. Ruthenica grows in the shape of a fan, with beautiful 
blue flowers issuing from the heel of the fan. /. longipetala , sanguinea, and violacea are remarkably decorative. 
/. Tectorum, the Tomiolopha Iris of the Chinese, is as remarkable for its beauty as it is for its curious habit of 
growth. In China it grows on the thatched houses, and we would recommend it for this kind of culture. 
/. Sibirica is distinguished by its long grassy leaves and beautiful orchid-like flowers, which are valuable for 
bouquets. I. Virginica and Versicolor are exquisite dwarf growing Iris. The varieties of I. Kcempferi form a 
perfectly distinct race ; the flowers are flat, and some of them as large as Clematis, while I. Pumila, or 
dwarf Iris, make admirable edgings, and are valuable for rockwork. - A
