Little is known of Iris odaensanensis, presently of the Chinenses series.
According to the BIS book on species, it is not in cultivation and may be
related to, or a part of, the crested irises. The flower is described as
3-5 cm in diameter, white with a yellow signal and of flat form (standards
and falls in the same plane), 2 per 20 cm. stem. Said to grow on the
margins of deciduous forests.
The Korean species of Iris are not well-studied. Several years back SIGNA
offered Korean seed of I. koreana, which BIS considers a form of I.
minutoaurea. When I grew out the seed, they turned out to be I. sanguinea.
