Dear Sir,
I live in Sichuan, China at an altitude of approx. 3,000 metres.......I attach
some photos of what appears to be a very tiny iris plant which is only
about 6 or 7 cm height to top of the flower from ground level. The
leaves have the appearance of those of an iris but very narrow and
obviously very small, growing from what appears to be a tiny rhizome.
Can you please identify it for me? Is it a species of Iris or some other species? I came across your web
site and wondered if you could help me or give me a contact of someone
in your organisation who can
In anticipation of your kind assistance,
Yours sincerely,
Keith Richardson
