---++ ■ (SPEC) _Iris bornmuelleri_ Leicht. (synonym of I. danfordiae but possibly a distinct variation)

1891, Leichtlin

*'Bornmülleri'* ([[Main.Bio.HybridizerLeichtlinMax][Max Leichtlin]], 1891); Haussknecht separated this as a distinct species from danfordiae because it possesses a netted tunic around the bulb and he was unaware that Baker in error, had left off this character from his original description of I. danfordiae. On the specimen he received and based his original description, the tunics had been removed. <br />Nonetheless the plants in cultivation may have had some other distinct characteristics. In The _Gardeners' Chronicle,_ p.306, March 7, 1891; "Mr. Max Leichtlin, Baden-Baden, desires to make the following correction. "In consequence of an error, I sent out last year a small yellow-flowered, bulbous Iris as _I. Bormmülleri._ Since then, the plant has been verified as _I. danfordiae_, whilst the plant now in flower here under the name, proves to be a distinct species. The principal difference is in the size and breadth of the outer segments and of the stigma. The stigma of danfordiae is always smaller than the lamina, and is devoid of any marking. In _I. Bornmülleri_, it is always larger, and has two broad stripes of bright green along its ridge; in consequence, _I. Bornmülleri_ looks fuller and larger." Foster disagreed with this assessment and concluded this was simply a variation of _I. danfordiae_. We have noted this in the checklist to call attention to the fact that wild populations of _Iris danfordiae_ may show variation and we should not be mislead by the fact that all commercial sources are presently offering a single, triploid, sterile clone.
