}} ''Iris bungei'' is a beardless iris in the genus ''Iris'', in the subgenus ''Limniris'' and in the ''Tenuifoliae series'' of the species. It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial, from Mongolia, Siberia, Tibet and China. It has green leaves, short stem and 2 violet, purple, lavender or blue flowers. ==Description== ''Iris bungei'' is intermediate in form between ''Iris tenuifolia'' and ''Iris ventricosa''.〔 It has knobbly, woody, rhizomes. That can spread to create dense clumps of plants.〔〔 It has red-brown or maroon-brown fibres or sheaths, that can be long, which are the remains of the previous seasons leaves.〔〔 It has linear, green leaves, long and wide.〔〔 They have 4-7 veins on the leaves.〔 It has a short, long flowering stem.〔〔〔 In some years, the flowers are barely above the soil.〔〔〔 It has one or two terminal (at the top of the stem) flower,〔〔 between April and May (in Europe)〔 and between May and June (in Asia).〔 It has 3 green, ovate between long and wide, large spathes (leaves of the flower bud).〔 Hence, reason for the common names of 'Big bud Iris' or 'Big Bract Iris'.〔 Compared to ''Iris ventricosa'', it has parallel veins on the spathes, instead of being reticulate.〔 The flowers are in diameter,〔 and come in shades between violet,〔〔〔 purple,〔〔 lavender〔 and blue colours.〔 It has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals, known as the 'standards'.〔 The falls are oblong and oblanceolate (Top wider than the bottom), measuring long and 1.5-1.2 cm wide.〔 They have a small, thin yellow signal area and are marked with purple veins or marks.〔〔〔 The standards are erect, narrowly oblanceolate, long and 10–8 mm wide.〔 It has a 1.5 cm long pedicel, a filiform (Thread- or filament-shaped) 6–7 cm long perinath tube, 3 cm long stamens and 4.5–4 cm long ovary. It has long style branches, that are the same colour as the petals.〔 After the iris has flowered, it produces a narrow, cylindric seed capsule, long and 2-1.5 cm wide in July and August. The capsule has 6 veins and a long beak-like appendage on the top.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iris bungei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
