Origin not certainly known. Found in the garden of Lemonnier at Versailles. G. 25:389. —Not showy except in masses. This and I. orientalis and I. aurea are very closely related and together with I. halophila are perhaps all forms of I. spuria. I. monnieri is uniformly bright lemon-yellow, free from veins or spots. By its coloring, it differs from I. orientals and by the orbicular blade of the outer segms. from I. aurea, in which the blades are oblong. Often attributed to Crete.
