Iris aurea, Lindl. Lvs. scarcely glaucous, l ½ -2 ft. long: st. 3-3 ½ ft. long, stout, terete, with 1-2 sessile lateral clusters below the end one: spathes 2-3-fld.: pedicel long: limb bright yellow; outer segms. with an oblong undulate blade 1 in. broad, as long as the claw; inner segms. less than ½ in. broad, with much-waved edges. July. W. Himalayas. B.R. 33:59. Gn. 31:52. G. 25:388. B.M. 1131 (as I. spuria var. halophila).— Intro, by Dr. Royle. The color is a rich golden yellow, much deeper than that of I. monnieri and the others of this group. See I. monnieri. Said to grow up to 5 ft. high under favorable conditions. var. intermedia, W. I., in G.C. III. 28:22. Intermediate between I. aurea and I. orientalis. Deep yellow, with crisped segms. like I. aurea, but having the obovate outer segms. and narrow inner segms. of I. orientalis.
