Iris lochlevensis [Macarthur]
I have found no reference to this plant. It seems probable that it is of Scottish origin, from the vicinity of Loch Leven in Perthshire. 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.240/1843].
Notes
Interestingly Crinum Lochlevensis Hort. is listed in the Catalogue of Plants in the Government Botanic Gardens, Sydney in 1895. Perhaps this is an error with Iris Lochlevensis intended.
