Thank you Gurcharan Sir and Rawat Sir. This thread introduces me to a new genus (though I have a copy of Polunin & Stainton!). Now, it appears to me it is closer to Gurcharan Sir's id, at least as per height of the plant (besides those differences keyed in by Sir) - http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/Iris/Iris_Summary.pdf Interestingly, as per FoNA <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=200028171> and KEW <http://www.kew.org/science-conservation/plants-fungi/iris-variegata-hungarian-iris> *Iris* x *germanica* itself is a hybrid of *I. variegata* and KEW thinks the former is a low growing one with many cultivars.
