■ (Spec) Iris klattii Kem.-Nath.
1951, Kemularia-Nathadze
Iris klattii (
Liubov Manucharovna Kemularia-Nathadze, 1951),
Section Limniris ,
Series Spuriae ; Klatt described it as
Iris violaceae in Grossheim, Opr. Rast. Kauk. 635 (1949); but that name had already been used for a different Iris so it was changed to
Iris klattii by Kemul.-Nath. in Not. Syst. Geogr.Inst. Bot. Tphilis., Fasc. 16, 4 (1951). Some authors today recognize it only as a variation under
Iris spuria subspecies musulmanica. Breeding experiments have shown it to behave quite different from that iris and some distinctive characteristics such as red pollen suggest it is a distinct entity but the rank has yet to be settled.
