This is confirmed by the capsule and by the seeds. The former is smaller than, but similar in shape to, those of the Regelia Irises and the seeds have the characteristic white aril (cf. herbarium specimens and Maximowicz's description in B. A. P. I.e. "hilo perforato albido ").</br></br> falcifolia does not appear ever to have been in cultivation. | | Merkodovich, N.A. (ed.) (1941). Flora Uzbekistana 1: 1-566.
