Iris hookeriana from Khillenmarg Kashmir-GS05012022-1

[Gurcharan Singh]

Iris hookeriana as clarified in another post is often confused but very distinct from Iris kemaonensis as under:

1. I. hookeriana: aerial stems distinct longer than 10 cm; perianth tube less than 2 cm long.

2. I. kemaonensis: Aerial stems highly reduced, not longer than 10 cm (longer stemed I. kemaonensis var. caulescens Baker is now considered as synonym of I. hookeriana); perianth tube 5-8 cm long.
