TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Nat. ord. 1R1DER: 
IRIS. Supra vol. 3. fol. 246. 
I. nepalensis, cristata, scapo bifloro foliis falcatis breviore, spathd diphylld 
perianthio violaceo appress4 unguium sepalorum longitudine. 
I. nepalensis. Wallich in litt. 
The plant from which the figure of this handsome spe- 
cies of Iris was taken, flowered in the garden of Sir Abra- 
ham Hume, at Wormleybury, last spring. We are informed 
by that gentleman, that seeds of it were received by him 
from Dr. Wallich, with the name we have applied, and that 
the flower has a fragrant smell. 
We, unfortunately, have had no opportunity of exa- 
mining either flower or plant. Judging from the figure, we 
should suppose it near Iris subbiflora.
