''Iris qinghainica'' 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 China. It has grey green leaves, a very short stem and 1 - 2 blue or violet flowers. ==Description== ''Iris qinghainica'' has a knobbly rhizome. On top of the rhizome are maroon-brown, fibrous (or straw-like), remnants (of last seasons leaves), as sheaths (of the new leaves).〔〔 It has linear, narrow, greyish green leaves, that are between long and between 2-3mm wide. They have no obvious veining and end in a sharp point (acuminate).〔〔 It has a very short flower stem, that often does not emerge from the ground.〔 Overall, (stem and flower) the flower can reach up to long. It has 3 green, lanceolate, between long and between 0.6-1.8 cm wide, spathes (leaves of the flower bud).〔〔 The stems hold between 1 and 2, terminal (top of stem) flowers, blooming between June and July.〔〔 The flowers are in diameter, and are in shades of blue or violet.〔〔〔 It has two pairs of petals, three large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The falls are narrowly oblanceolate (top wider than the bottom), long and 5 – 8 mm wide.〔 They have a small white signal patch. The standards are also narrowly oblanceolate, but much smaller, only 3 cm long and 4 mm wide.〔 It has a filiform (thread-like) long, perianth tube.〔〔 Also, 1.8 – 2 cm long stamens, 1.5 cm long ovary and triangular-like, style branches that are 2.5 cm long and 3 mm wide.〔〔 They are the same shade of colour as the petals. After the iris has flowered, it produces a seed capsule (not described) between June and August.〔〔 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 qinghainica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
