  • This pretty little Iris has a wide distribution round the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, as it occurs in Greece, Asia Minor, Crete (where it ascends the hills to 3 000 feet above sea-level), and the Ionian Islands. It has been con founded with the South Russian and Transylvanian humilis and the Algerian unguicularis, but is quite distinct from both, and the three inhabit different geographical areas. This fact was recognised long ago by Dean Herbert, and he gave it, in the Hookerian herbarium, the manuscript name of Iris cretica but this was never published, so far as I have been able to ascertain. It belongs to the small group of acaulescent beardless Irises, of which the two species just named, and a third (Iris Rossii, Baker in Gard. Chron. 1877, part ii. p. 809), recently discovered in the extreme north of China, are the only remaining known members. It has been introduced
