Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Iris caucasica (also known as Caucasian iris)[1][2] is a species of plant in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus of Scorpiris. Pronounced as 'kaw-KAS-ee-kuh'.[3]
It was described in 'Commentat. Soc. Phys.' to Caesareae Universitatis Mosquensis of 1808 by Georg Hoffman.[4]
It was once confused with iris orchioides, but iris caucasica is a smaller plant, with sessile flowers. Also it has leaves that have white margins.[5]
Iris caucasica is an accepted name by the RHS.[1]
Habit
It has a brown ovoid bulb with fleshy roots.[5] It is similar in form to Iris persica.[2]
It has grey green leaves,[6] which are ciliate[7] and that start growing at flowering time.[8] They reach up to 10–12 cm long and l-2 cm wide.[7] The leaves have a faint white margin.[9]
It has between 1–4 flowers per stem, normally pale yellow or green and with winged falls.[8] The falls also have a yellow ridge.[6] The flowers are 5–15 cm (2–6 in) across.[8] It flowers in late spring.[7] It eventually reaches a height of 15 cm (flower and stem).[7] The flowers are not fragrant.[5]
Native
Iris caucasica grows on limestone mountain slopes (at 1200-3500m above sea level)[7] in Turkey[6] and Armenia and Azerbaijan,[10] in the Caucasus mountains.[6] Bieberstein notes seeing it near Tbilisi in the South Caucasus.[2] It has also been found in Israel and Iran.[9]
Hybrids
In 1892, Michael Foster introduced a hybrid version Iris Caucasica 'Kharput'.[3] Which does not have winged falls.[8] It still has 4–5 flowers per stem, which are greenish-yellow. But they are generally larger than parent plant.[5]
Uses
Iris caucasica (or Sarı nevroz, a local name of Ovacık, Dersim) has been used a folk medicinal plant in Turkey. The flowers have been used in an infusion to treat colds.[11]
