Dutch irises are derivatives of I. xiphium, along with the English and
Spanish Irises.
As far as I can work it out I. xiphium is actually a group of species rather
than a single species. It includes I. bossieri, I. filifolia, I.
fontanesii, I. juncea, I. latifolium and I. tingitana plus others.
I think the dutch iris comes from crosses as well as selections from these
species. Can be variable in size depending on the variety. I know that
something like "Apollo" is huge, while "Bronze Queen" is comparatively tiny.
I hope that is of some vague help.
Cheers...
