'Sintenisii Urumovi' (Josef Velenovsky, 1902, Balkans). Subgenus Limniris, Series Spuriae, 6-10" (15-25 cm), B; Blue. Narrow extremely glaucous leaves, (more vigorous than the type). "One rather uncommon species is I. Uromovii which some botanists consider synonymous with I. sintenisii. As grown here they are very distinct. The former has very narrow and exceedingly glaucous leaves and the flowers are pale violet and white. Especially striking are the narrow flanged hafts of falls. The whole flower is a picture of simple grace. I. sintenisii has white falls closely veined with blue-purple, and the blade is elliptic. The foliage is of a light green very different from that of I. uromovii."-Brown 1946. Velenovsky in Oestr. Bot. Zeitschr. 155. 1902; Dykes, The Gardeners' Chronicle 3rd Ser. 56: 273. 24 Oct. 1914. Hocker 1937;

Chromosome counts: 2n=20, Simonet 1934; 2n=20, Lenz 1963. [Iris sintenisii Janka var. urumovi Velenovsky].
