Iris schachtii Markgraf (Friedrich Markgraf. 1957, Ankara); Section Iris . 4-12" (10-30 cm); the two or more flowers may be a dull purple, to violet with bluish white to yellow-tipped beards, or bicolor yellow, or yellow flowered with markings of cream, green on brown towards the base of the segments, or white flowered. The simple or one-branched stem is sheathed in the green, sometimes stained purple, semi-inflated, navicular bract and bracteole.
