}} ''Iris halophila'' is a species in the genus ''Iris'', it is also in the subgenus of ''Limniris'' and in ''series Spuriae''. It is a bulbous perennial plant, with yellow, white or violet flowers. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions. It comes from a wide range from eastern Europe to China in Asia. It was known for a long while as a subspecies of ''Iris spuria'', before being treated as a separate species in its own right. ==Description== It is similar in form to ''Iris orientalis'' but it is shorter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wildstaudenzauber.de/Stauden/iris_halophila.htm )〕 It has stout, thick, purple brown rhizomes, which can be 1.3–3 cm in diameter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200028175 )〕 Under the rhizome are thick roots.〔 The rhizome spreads along the ground in a creeping habit.〔 It has greyish-green, linear, erect, sword-shaped, leaves.〔〔 That can grow up to long, and 0.7–2 cm wide.〔 The leaves do not have a mid-vein.〔 The leaves and foliage are sometimes longer than the flowering stems.〔 Similar to ''Iris spuria'', they also have the ability to produce an offensive smell, when the leaves are bruised.〔 It has a smooth, long flowering stem.〔〔〔〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.binnyplants.co.uk/WebFiles/IRIS%20spuria%20subsp.%20halophila.htm )〕 It has 1-4 very short lateral branches.〔 The stems hold 3-8 flowers,〔 3-4 per stem, terminal (top of stem),〔 in early summer,〔 between May and June.〔〔〔〔〔 The lanceolate and membranous at the top, spathes are long and 2 cm wide.〔〔 It has flowers that are in diameter,〔〔 ranging in colour from white, yellowish to grey purple,〔〔 and violet.〔 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'. It has fiddle=shaped falls, with a narrow section between the claw (section closest to the stem) and limb or blade (outer part).〔〔 The claw is 2–3 cm long and 0.5 cm wide and the oblong or rounded limb is 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide.〔〔 Normally, the limb bends downwards.〔 It has an erect, oblanceolate standard, which is 3.5 cm long and 6–8 mm wide.〔〔 Some references mention pale to dark yellow forms with darker veining.〔〔〔〔 This is ''Iris spuria subsp. halophila'' (Pall.) B.Mathew & Wendelbo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://hortuscamden.com/plants/view/iris-spuria-l.-ssp.-halophila-pall.-b.mathew-wendelbo )〕 It has a 1.5–3 cm long pedicel, a short, 1 cm long perianth tube, 3 cm long stamens, yellow anthers and 3.5–4 cm long ovary. The style branches (in white or yellow, depending on the petal colour) are 3.5 cm long and 6 mm wide.〔 They are as long as the claw of the petals.〔 After the iris has flowered, between July and August it produces a greenish brown, ellipsoid-cylindric (shaped) seed capsule, measuring long and 2-2.5 cm wide. It has ridges and beak on the top.〔〔 Normally in pairs of capsules.〔 Inside, are pyriform (pear shaped), paper-like seeds, with a glossy or wrinkled (rugose), yellowish maroon, seed coat (or testa).〔〔 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 halophila」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
