Iris scotica [Macarthur]

I have found no reference to this plant.  Like Iris lochlevensis, it seems probable that it is of Scottish origin and, of the few species of iris recorded from Britain Iris pseud-acorus L., which see, seems the most likely.  [Keble Martin].  

Horticultural & Botanical History

No data.

 

History at Camden Park

Listed in all published catalogues [B.253/1843].

Notes

Iris versicolor L. is native to eastern North America, including Nova Scotia.  Iris hookeri Penny ex Loudon is alo a native of Nova Scotia.  Either of these are an unlikely identification.
