Iris filifolia is a species in the genus Iris, it is also in the subgenus Xiphium. It is a bulbous perennial from North Africa and Europe. It has thin leaves, summer flowers in shades of red-purple.
Description
It has 3 mm wide leaves,[1] which appear in the autumn.[2] It normally reaches a height of 10-16 inches (or 25–40 cm).[3] But can reach up to 45 cm tall.[2] It flowers between March and June.[3] Normally more than 2 flowers per stem.[4] When the flowering shoot comes out of the ground it is covered in a purple or white blotched sheath.[1] These then open up to revel red-purple flowers with orange spots,[3] or yellow stripe on the falls.[5]
Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings.[3] It has a chromosome count: 2n=32.[5]
