Iris pallida. Lam. (I. asiatica, Stapf. I. sicula, Tod.). Lvs. 1-2 ft. long: st. much exceeding the lvs., 2-3 ft. high: spathe-valves wholly scarious before the fls. expand: fls. fragrant, violet, rarely white; outer segms. obovate-cuneate, 3 ½ in. long; inner segms. orbicular. Crete, Rhodes. Syria, Palestine. B.M. 685. Gn. 33:32: 50, p. 119. G.M. 38:441. G. 29:179. G.L. 23:147. J.H. III. 54:437 (var. delicata). R.B. 30:145 (variety with variegated lvs.).—The spathe-valves entirely scarious even in the bud, the more complicated infl. and the fragrant fls. distinguish this species from I. germanica. var. dalmatica, Hort. Lvs. 2 in. wide, broader than those of the type, very glaucous: st. shorter and stouter than that of the type: fls. lilac-purple. The finest form of I. pallida. J.H. III. 56:545. var. speciosa, Hort.
