■ (SPEC) Iris spuria subsp. maritima (Dykes) P.Fourn.,

1795, Lamarck

Iris spuria 'Maritima’. (Jean Baptiste Lamarck, 1795, Hyeres, S. France). Spur; 10-12” (25-30 cm), B; Blue self. Dykes (1914) provided the following notes; “Standards, slightly shorter than the falls, oblanceolate-unguiculate, of a deep violet-blue clor, slightly edge with yellow in the lower part. Falls. The lanceolate haft is separated by a distinct constriction from the almost orbicular blade, which is about half as long as the haft. At the base the color is due to red purple veins on a white ground; on the blade these veins become a deep blue purple, and the groundwork is of a paler shade of the same color. The central ridge is greenish yellow with faint purple dots.” Stem is sheathed in 3-4 reduced leaves which entirely hide the internodes. [Iris spuria L. subspecies maritima Lam.].
