Subject: [iris-species] Mystery Iris, I. oriienii

   While doing research on the internet I came across a
 Iris species that is new to me and I am wondering if
 our group can shed any light on it. The species was I.
 orienii or spelled I. orjenii. The only reference to
 this seems to be the wikipedia. For those unfamiliar
 with this it is an encyclopedia created by users of
 the internet. Everyone can add to it and change
 entries. Because there is no vetting of information
 one has to always wonder about the veracity.
 Nonetheless it is a wealth of material. Although the
 name I. orienii will produce scores of Google hits,
 they all have the same wording as the wikipedia and I
 suspect are all poor copies of it. The iris is said to
 be pallida like and from Mount Orjen in Montenegro
 there is even a picture supplied of the flower. But
 nowhere have I been able to find a complete scientific
 name ( in other words with the author attached).
 Knowing the author would help to find where this name
 is published with the authors description. Has anyone
 knowledge of this plant? Close inspection of the photo
 of the flower seems to show a bract below the flower
 that is not wholly papery as in pallida.
