Notes to Correspondents; Iris

Gardeners' Chronicle p.504 1853

Transcript:

Iris: A. H. The species allied to ochroleuca are stenogyna, Guldenstadtiii, and halopnila; but none of these grow 6Ft high. There is a fine Indian, I. aurea, very handsome, but we are unacquainted with its stature. You are, no doubt, aware that they all acquire much larger dimensions than usual if grown in water.
