Kindly help in species identification Shimla Water Catchment Wildlife Sanctuary and Reserve forest June 2015-16 Flowering stalk was upto 6 inches tall and was arising from the base of the leaves. Only 3-4 leaves were visible. Very rare to find in this area. Can it be Iris kemaonensis? Yes Long Perianth tube does suggest I. kemaonensis
What was the Altitude?
This species generally occurs above 2500 m alt.
Sir, I think, 2200-2300m Confirmed from forest department. Looks different from images at Iris kemaonensis Wall. ex D.Don Also check with images at Iris × germanica L.
