Moraea iridioides, Linn. St. 1-2 ft. long, with many short, sheathing, lanceolate bracts: lvs. in fan-shaped basal rosettes: fls. over 3 in. across, white, marked yellow on claws of outer segms.; style-crests lanceolate, 1/3-½ in. long, marked with blue. In Calif, this species is very satisfactory, blooming once a fortnight from early spring until Nov. S. Afr. Vars. Macleaii, Hort., and prolongata are garden forms. Var. Johnsonii, Hort. Differs from type in having longer lvs., 2½ ft. long, erect, instead of spreading obliquely: fls. 4 in. across. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
