Re: Walking Iris

 

The scape on this plant is round, not flat.

I have to disagree. This is Trimezia because it DOES have a cylindrical scape. The scape in this photos appears coming up from the bottom center of the photo.

Here's a photo that shows the bit of the scape.

Neomarica longifolia is the accepted name. TheÂevident morphological differenceÂbetween the two genera is that NeomaricaÂalways has a laterallyÂcompressed scape, while that of Trimezia is cylindrical.

 The taxonomy on this is confused so I am not sure if this is Trimezia or Neomarica longifolia. Even the people at the University of Florida use both for this plant.
