Iris Ser. Tenuifoliae
''Iris'' ser. ''Tenuifoliae'' is a series of the genus '' Iris'', in ''Iris.'' subg. ''Limniris''. The series was first classified by Ludwig Diels in 'Die Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien' (Edited by H. G. A. Engler and K. Prantl) in 1930. It was further expanded by George Hill Mathewson Lawrence in ''Gentes Herb'' (written in Dutch) in 1953.James Cullen, Sabina G. Knees, H. Suzanne Cubey (Editors) Most of the species in this series come from Central Asia, and are found in semi-desert conditions, Such as dry steppes and grasslands. They are rare in cultivation in the UK. Most are only grown for scientific interest by botanists. They prefer a northern continental climate in a dry prairie similar to Nebraska or North or South Dakota in the US. They have very delicate rhizomes and do not like being disturbed. In the UK, they need to be grown in Bulb frames, with water during the summer but dry during the winter.

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.
