| Iris nudicaulis Lam., Encycl. 3: 296 (1789) |
| *'Nudicaulis'* ([[Main.Bio.HybridizerHookerJD][Joseph Dalton Hooker]], 1869) Hooker gave the following as <em>Iris nudicaulis <img src="%PUBURL%//Spec/SpecNudicaulis/Nudicaulis_Bot_Mag_5806.jpg" style="margin: 10px; float: right; height: 400px;" /> </em>in .<br /><br />IRIS NUDICAULIS.<br />Naked-scaped Iris. Nat. Ord. Irideum.– Triandria Monogynia. Gen. Char. (Vide supra, Tab. 5298.)<br />Iris nudicaulis; robusta, foliis breviusculis late ensiformibus falcatis caule nudiusculo brevioribus, floribus pedunculatis, spatha herbacea, pengonu lacinis obovato-oblongis subsequalibus exterioribus ungue nmbnatocristatis ceterum glabris, ovario subtereti, stigmatibus 2-fidis segmentis dentatis, capsula parva obtuse 3-gona.<br /> Iris nudicaulis.– Lamk. Encycl, v. iii. p. 296. Reichb. Ic. Fl. Germ. v. ix. <br /> p. 4, t. 331. Rcem. and Schultes, v. i. p. 463. <br />Iris, bohemica, Schmidt, Bohem. Cent. v. iv. p. 506. Koch.<br /> A very handsome, hardy herbaceous plant ; growing in sunny places, and forming large tufts. It is a native ot Bohemia, Silesia, and it is said of Volhynia in Russia; but L have seen no specimen from so far East as the latter locality<br /><br />It is specifically closely allied to I. Germanica and others of that group; but is sufficiently distinct. The Herbarium specimens are much taller than the cultivated ones and with larger scapes; but these often elongate much after flowering, and greatly exceed the leaves.<br />The plant here figured, which flowered in April of the present year, has long been cultivated in the Royal Gardens under the above name, and I am unaware of its origin.<br /><br />Descr. Rootstocks matted, as thick as the thumb, ringed, sending up many flowering and leafing stems Leaves six to eight inches long, three-quarters to one inch broad, falcate, linear ensiform, acuminate, pale green, rather thick nerves obscure. Flowering scapes several together from the root, two to ten inches long, two to three-flowered compressed bracts one and a half to two inches long, herbaceous, with membranous margins, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate. Flowers sessile or pedicelled, two and a half to three and a half inches across, dark purple. Perianth segments nearly equal, obovate-oblong, rounded at the apex; three outer darker; claw banded with white, and bearing a crest of dense long white hairs in the middle; inner segments with narrower claws, less distinctly banded. Stigmas oblong, bifid, segments narrow, triangular, acute, toothed. Capsule small for the size of the plant, one to one and a quarter inch long, obtusely angled.–J. D. H. |
