■(SPEC) Iris orchioides Carrière

1880, Botanical author Carrière

Orchioides

Iris orchioides Carrière (Élie-Abel Carrière, 1880, East Bokhara); Subgenus Scorpiris (Juno), Color Code-Y4M; Rev. Hort. 52: 337. fig. 68. 1 Sep. 1880 illustrated;

Iris orchioides can be distinguished from Iris bucharica with which it had been confused for a long time by the large wings on the hafts of the falls which form a channel to direct pollinators. Bucharica has no enlarged wings. Dykes original key separated orchioides from bucharica but Dykes had not seen the true orchioides but was looking at a pure yellow form of bucharica.
