−'''''Iris cristata''''' ('''Crested Iris''') is of the genus ''[[iris (plant)|Iris]]'', subgenus ''[[Iris subg. Limniris|Limniris]]''. In North America, it is native to areas of the Eastern United States. It is a close relative to ''[[Iris lacustris]]'' which is the only other crested iris native to North America, but which is found only in small areas of the [[Great Lakes]] region which have been glacier-free for only 11,000 years.
