Re: What is right and what is wrong - I. scariosa syn. I. glaucesens vs. syn. astrachanica


Hi Lars and Bob,
The situation around these names is more complicated.
Unfortunately two different species are figured as Iris scariosa.
First one - true Iris scariosa Willd. ex Link. that grow only aroun low Volga river. Iris astrachanica is its synonyme.
Second one - Iris scariosa of Flora of China which actually is Iris scariosa auct., non Willd. ex Link. and is a synonyme of Iris glaucescens Bunge.
This species has large area from Ural montains trough Kazakhstan up to Altai mountains and China. Unfortunately name Iris scariosa usually is used in this sence wich is incorrect. Iris astrachanica is not a synonyme of this species.
