Iris sp. Please wait for flowers to come in May onwards. They would be really beautiful.

Yes Pankaj ji

It is possible, especially if it is bach (local name), the leaves are, however, slightly curved and broader in above plant.

Also the aquatic habit goes in favour of Acorus.

Dear Mr. Adil.
This is a very fragrant plant. Even while plucking a part of the plant
for picture, you must have felt the fragrance If it was fragrant then
it confirms it to be Acorus. Curves of leaves in young condition in
this taxa is not a big deal and then the swollen midrib also point
towards Acorus.

Dear All:
I am a little baffled....
how can one be soooo sure of the species of an important medicinal
plant...
without either smell? of the crushed leaf? or a cross section of the
leaf,
or best: the flowers and seedpods...

Just two small pictures can help IDENTIFY a plant?

To me these leaves could be from any of the flowering plants that can
be started
from a bulb...

would love to learn .
Thanks
Usha Desai M.D..
