Synonyms

Iris chamaeiris Bertol; Iris erratica; Iris olbiensis Henon; Iris italica Parl.; Iris statellae; Iris virescens Delarb.
Although the various synonyms are still treated by some current authors as separate species, Mathew list them as synonyms. Since in many cases it can not be determined as to which synonym (or species) a given cultivar belongs, this lumping works out well for the purposes of this list but maybe disputed by future authors. It has been assumed my many references that dwarf Iris in the USA and England were all Iris lutescens before the 1950's. Such hybridizers as Marx, Burchfield, Caparne and Perry have been said to have had only Iris lutescens available and not Iris pumila. Plants described as branched are likely Iris lutescens since Iris pumila generally has little or no stem, the floral tube arising almost directly from the rhizome.
