In 1861, Heinrich Moritz Willkomm described Iris serotina after seeing plants from Province of Jaén (Spain). Originally, he called it 'Iris filifolia', but this was later corrected to Iris serotina. Then published in 'Prodromus Florae Hispanicae' Vol.1 in 1861.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=322363 )〕 It was later illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine No.733 in 1977.〔James Cullen, Sabina G.
