Neomarica

''Neomarica'' (walking iris, apostle's iris or apostle plant – names also used for the related genus ''Trimezia'') is a genus of plants in family Iridaceae, first described in 1928. It is native to Mexico, Central and South America, and Trinidad & Tobago.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Innes, C. (1985). The World of Iridaceae: 1-407. Holly Gare International Ltd., Ashington.〕〔Espejo Serna, A. & López-Ferrari, A.R. (1996). Monocotiledóneas Mexicanas: una sinopsis florística 6: 43-59. Mexico City : Consejo Nacional de la Flora de Mexico.〕〔Chukr, N.S. & Giuliettu, A.M. (2001). New combinations in the genus ''Neomarica'' and its segregation from ''Trimezia'' on the basis of morphological features.. Novon 11: 376-380.〕
The genus name is derived from the Greek words ''neo'', meaning "new", and ''Marica'', the Roman nymph.
==Description==

They are herbaceous perennial plants that propagate by way of a thick rhizome and new plantlets that develop from the stem where flowers once emerged. The plants grow erect, and have long slender lanceolate leaves from 30–160 cm long and 1–4 cm broad, depending on the species. They produce very fragrant flowers that last for a short period of time, often only 18 hours.
The flowers emerge from what appears to be just another leaf, but is really a flower stalk structured to look like the other leaves; they are 5–10 cm diameter, and somewhat resemble ''Iris'' flowers. After pollination, the new plantlet appears where the flower emerged and the stalk continues to grow longer. The weight of the growing plantlet causes the stalk to bend toward the ground, allowing the new plantlet to root away from its parent. This is how it obtained the common name of "Walking Iris". The other common name "Apostle Plant" comes from the belief that the plant will not flower until the individual has at least 12 leaves, the number of apostles of Jesus.
