Iris Ser. Longipetalae
''Iris'' ser. ''Longipetalae'' is a series of the genus '' Iris'', in ''Iris'' subg. ''Limniris''. William Rickatson Dykes in his book 'Handbook of Garden Irises' (of 1924) includes 4 species in his Iris longipetala subsection; including ''Iris longipetala'' (Herbert), ''Iris missouriensis'' Nuttall, ''Iris arizonica'' (Dykes, 1917) and ''Iris montana'' (Nuttall). ''Iris arizonica'' and ''Iris montana'' have since been classified as synonyms of ''Iris missouriensis''. The series was then first classified as a 'series' by Diels in 'Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien' (Edited by H. G. A. Engler and K. Prantl) in 1930. It was further expanded by Lawrence in Gentes Herb (written in Dutch) in 1953.James Cullen, Sabina G. Knees, H. Suzanne Cubey (Editors) There is still a lot of confusion within the series. The British Iris Society only lists ''Iris missouriensis'' and classes ''Iris longipetala'' as a variant of ''Iris missouriensis''. The American Iris Society and Pacific Iris S ...

Iris Missouriensis
''Iris missouriensis'' (syn. ''I. montana'') is a hardy flowering rhizomatous species of the genus ''Iris'', in the family Iridaceae. Its common names include western blue flag, Rocky Mountain iris,Donald Wyman and Missouri flag. It is native to western North America. Its distribution is varied; it grows at high elevations in mountains and alpine meadows and all the way down to sea level in coastal hills. Description ''Iris missouriensis'' is an erect herbaceous rhizomatous perennial, high, with leafless unbranched scapes (flowering stems) and linear basal leaves, 5 to 10 mm wide, similar in height to the scapes. The inflorescence usually consists of one or two flowers, exceptionally three or four. Each flower has three light to dark blue, spreading or reflexed sepals lined with purple and three smaller upright blue petals. They produce a large fruit capsule. The plant populations often spread outwards from the older plants, leaving a dead opening in the center of a g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iris Longipetala
''Iris longipetala'' is a species in the genus '' Iris'', it is also in the subgenus '' Limniris'' and in the series '' Longipetalae''. It is a rhizomatous perennial, from North America.

It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. Description ''Iris longipetala'' has a rhizome (approx. 10–25 mm diam), with small trailing branches (which are approx. 2–2.5 cm in diam.) and plenty of fleshy toots. The spreading rhizomes give the appearance of a clump forming plant. It can form dense colonies. It has a small stem, which reaches a height of between , with a few branches (1 or 2) and is about 3–6 cm in diameter. The stem has 3 leaves along it, which overlap and wrap around the stem. The leaves can be either dark green or bluish green and they can be equal or just shorter than the flowering stems. They st ...

Iris (plant)
''Iris'' is a flowering plant genus of 310 accepted species with showy flowers. As well as being the scientific name, ''iris'' is also widely used as a common name for all ''Iris'' species, as well as some belonging to other closely related genera. A common name for some species is 'flags', while the plants of the subgenus '' Scorpiris'' are widely known as 'junos', particularly in horticulture. It is a popular garden flower. The often-segregated, monotypic genera '' Belamcanda'' (blackberry lily, ''I. domestica''), '' Hermodactylus'' (snake's head iris, ''I. tuberosa''), and ''Pardanthopsis'' (vesper iris, '' I. dichotoma'') are currently included in ''Iris''. Three Iris varieties are used in the Iris flower data set outlined by Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper ''The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems'' as an example of linear discriminant analysis.

Ludwig Diels
Dr. Friedrich Ludwig Emil Diels (24 September 1874 – 30 November 1945) was a German botanist. Diels was born in Hamburg, the son of the classical scholar Hermann Alexander Diels. From 1900 to 1902 he traveled together with Ernst Georg Pritzel through South Africa, Java, Australia and New Zealand. Shortly before the First World War he travelled New Guinea and in the 1930s in Ecuador. Especially his collections of plants from Australia and Ecuador, which contained numerous holotypes, enriched the knowledge of the concerning floras. His monography on the Droseraceae from 1906 is still a standard. The majority of his collections were stored at the botanical garden in Berlin-Dahlem, whose vicedirector he had been since 1913, becoming its director in 1921 until 1945.

The Plant List
The Plant List was a list of botanical names of species of plants created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanical Garden and launched in 2010. It was intended to be a comprehensive record of all known names of plant species over time, and was produced in response to Target 1 of the 2002-2010 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSP C), to produce "An online flora of all known plants.” It has not been updated since 2013, and has been superseded by World Flora Online. World Flora Online In October 2012, the follow-up project World Flora Online was launched with the aim to publish an online flora of all known plants by 2020. This is a project of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. It is developed by a collaborative group of institutions around the world response to the 2011-2020 GSPC's updated Target 1. This aims to achieve an online Flora of all known plants by 2020. It ...
