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.
