SELECT LIST OF IRIS. 
15 - 
SPIR/EA PALMATA. 
In a description of this plant, given in the Botanical Magazine, No. 285, Dr. Hooker says ; “ By 
far the liandsomest species of the genus hitherto imported, and certainly one of the most beautiful 
hardy plants in cultivation ; the deep purple red of the stems and branches, passing into the crimson 
purple of the glorious broad corymbs of flowers, contrasts more exquisitely with the foliage, which in 
autumn assumes beautiful tints of brown and golden yellow.” It is a native of Japan, and was 
discovered and introduced by Mr. Fortune. 2s. 6rf. and 3s. 6d. each ; 24s. per dozen. 
ENGLISH 
(I. anglica or Xiphioides). 
For brilliancy of colour and fine vigorous foliage the English Iris takes rank among the handsomest 
of flowering bulbs. They greatly resemble the Spanish Iris in style of growth, attaining a height of 
about 2 feet, and produce, during June and July, a succession of large and beautiful flowers.
