RE: ID please

 

I have found information on I. lacustris and Manitoulin Island. From COSEWIC report in 2004. I now have information needed to check further.

"The species was verified as present at only one of four sites visited on Manitoulin
Island. M.J. Oldham found an additional site on Manitoulin in 2004. The other three
were either historical sites where the last sighting was over 40 years ago and the plants
are now extirpated, or they were rare at the sites originally; and could easily have been
missed due to their sparse and scattered presence."



I'm not surprised by absence at two of the sites. They are now built up. and I had looked at these two locations. I haven't visited the other two sites. But now know where to look. The one site is an unlikely site, and not easily accessible.

Lacustris is also found around Lake Huron & the Bruce PeninsulaâI recall being on a ferry there & seeing a tourist brochure which  featured it.

My first thought is that this is lacustris. Some botanists have placed lacustris as a subspecies of cristata because they are very very similar. Generally lacustris is much smaller and confined to a small region around Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. But there are very small forms of cristata in limited locations in the Southern USA that would be very hard to tell from the classic lacustris. Good to hear from you Yuri, Sincerely Bob Pries

Is this beauty Iris lacustris or Iris cristata?
