Iris reticulata var. bakeriana is a variety of Iris reticulata, a plant in the genus Iris. It is sometimes treated as Iris bakeriana,[1] especially in the USA.

Description

The bulbs are more pointed and slender in shape than other reticulata irises in the genus.[2] It grows to about 10 cm tall, with a 5–6 cm tall flower. It has bluish lilac standards and styles. Falls are white with deep blue tips, lines, and blotches.[3] It also has pale blue veining.[4] This variety of iris has nearly cylindrical leaves unlike other reticulata species.[3] It blooms in early spring, normally February.[1]

Biochemistry

As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings.[5]Шаблон:Rp It has a chromosome count: 2n=20, counted by Johnson & Brandham in 1997.[6][4]

Taxonomy

The Latin specific epithet reticulata refers to the Latin word for net, and bakeriana is in honor of the English botanist John Gilbert Baker.[7]

It was originally found in Armenia near the city of Mardin(in Turkey).[8]

It was originally described and published by Sir Michael Foster as Iris bakeriana in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Tab. 7084. on November 1, 1889.[9]

Then in Flora Iranica (1975) it was re-classified to be a variety of Iris reticulata by Wendelbo.[10] This now is accepted by most botanists. Iris bakeriana (Foster) then become a synonym for the plant.[11] Although the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service still class Iris bakeriana as a true species.[12]

Iris reticulata var. bakeriana is an accepted name by the RHS.[13]
