G. F. Wilson in Gardeners' Chronicles ser. 3, 9: 117 (1891), gives the following original description; "Will you allow me to call attention to some of the newer Irises, as being valuable conservatory plants at this season. Iris Bakeriana is a perfect gem, the standards pale blue, the falls intense dark blue, with white center, spotted with rich blue; Iris reticulata var. Histrioides, the standards bluish lavender, the falls blue, with yellow and white markings; in different plants the lavender shade is more or less pronounced. I have planted bulbs out-of-doors, but rather fear their standing the frosts of this exceptional winter. I believe that we owe to my fried, Max Leichtlin, the bringing into commerce of both these Irises

Foster in Bulbous Irises 9., 59. figs. 7., 37. 1892 gives the following; "The flower appears before the leaves, which are eventually stouter and longer than in any other form of reticulata,. Flower larger, four or even five inches across, with a tube variable in length, but always longer than the spathe-valves, which are short, broad, blunt, and colorless, or nearly so, being marked by a few green veins. Claw of fall not strap-shaped, but triangular, gradually expanding, a slight constriction, however, marking the transition, into a broad ovate blade as long as or even longer than itself. illustrated;
