Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

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.
