Re: wild Iris hunting


 

Thanks. A nice white (well near white) clone.

In Flora of North America V26, Goldblatt has a key for Sisyrinchium.
Starts pg 351. It is the best I've seen. Although I haven't tried it
yet, it is a daunting genus. We have a native one on my farm, that
shows up all over as a weed.

Here are pics from the wild of Sisyrinchium sp. probably albidum from
southern Ohio, taken May 2, 2015.


Sisyrinchium is in the Iris family, and is probably the most widespread
genus in the family with species occurring in such remote places as
Greenland & Hawaii. Ohio is native to at least 3 species and they're
impossible for me to tell apart. A botanist friend suggested S.
albidum for these pics.
