Description

Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica is very similar in form to Iris aphylla but it is slightly shorter than Iris germanica (a commonly cultivated garden iris), but which it is very closely related. [1]

It has short, tuberous rhizome, [2] that is 18–22 mm in diameter. [3]

It has basal leaves (rising from the rhizome), that are curved, [4] acuminate (pointed) and 1–3 cm wide. [3] [4] They are slightly smaller than Iris aphylla, [5] and shorter than the flowering stem. [2] They have 5–6 ribs, [3] and curve outwards. [4]

It has a slender stem, that can grow up to between 10–30 cm (4–12 in) tall, [2] [3] [4]

The stem has green, (scarious) membranous, spathes (leaves of the flower bud), which have a reddish edge. [4]

The stems hold 1–5 terminal (top of stem) flowers, [1] [2] [4] blooming between March to May [2] [4] or between May and June. [3] It can often the second bloom time between August and September. [3]

The flower bud leans slightly before flowering in Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica as compared to Iris aphylla, in which the stem is straight. [6]

The large flowers, [1] come in shades of purple, [1] or dark purple, [3] or violet-blue. [2]

Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. [7] :17 The falls are ovate and elongated, [2] [3] and 2–3 cm wide. [4] In the centre of the petal, white beards with orange tops. [1] The standards are elongated an ovoid, and 3 cm wide. [2]

After the iris has flowered, it produces a capsule, [4] that is triangular, capsule, [2] [3] which is 4–5 mm long and 3 mm wide. [3] The capsule contains elongated ovoid seeds. [3]

Genetics

In 2010, a cytotype study was carried out on Iris aphylla, using karyotype and AFLP data analysis. It concluded that Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica was a separate species to Iris aphylla. [6]

In 2014, a study was carried out on the foliage and rhizomes of the iris, it found several constituents and terpenoids (organic compounds), including phenylacetaldehyde, eugenol, and lauric acid. [8]

As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. [7] :18 It has been counted twice, 2n=48 (as Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica) in 1983, by Murín A. & Májovský J., Karyological study of Slovakian flora IV. – Acta Fac. Rerum Nat. Univ. Comen., Bot. 30: 1–16. [9] Also 2n=44 (as Iris hungarica Waldst. & Kit.) in 1990 by Zakharjeva, O. I., Numeri Chromosomatum Magnoliophytorum Florae URSS, Aceraceae—Menyanthaceae. Nauka, Leninopoli.

It has the common names of Hungarian leafless iris, [2] or Hungarian Iris, [4] [10] or Iris steppe. [1]

The Latin subspecies specific epithet hungarica refers to Hungary, [11] where the iris was originally found.

It was first published and described as Iris hungarica by Waldstein & Kitaibel in 'Descriptiones et icônes plantarum rariorum Hungáriáé'(Descr. Icon. Pl. Hung.) Vol.3 page 251 between 1806 and 1812. [12] [13] [14] In 1909, Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica was published by Gustav Hegi in 'Ill Fl. Mitteleur' Vol.2 page 289. [15] Both were then de-classified as a synonyms of Iris aphylla. [16] Later, Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica was re-classified as a subspecies of Iris aphylla. [6] [14]

It has not been verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service, as of 2 September 2015.

It has not been recognized as a subspecies by Plant list, as of 4 September 2015.

It is listed in the Encyclopedia of Life. [17]

Iris aphylla subsp. hungarica is an accepted name by the RHS. [18]

It is threatened due to habitat loss. From infrastructure development, forestry practices (including rejuvenation of forests with spruce). [3] Also loss by invading dominant species such as robinia and pinus species. [23]

Cultivation

It prefers to grow in well-drained soils, (it can tolerate rocky soil) in a sunny situation. [5]

It can tolerate dry situations, if planted in humus rich soils. [28]

Propagation

It can be propagated by division of the rhizomes or by seed growing. In the wild the seed are spread by the wind. [3]

Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), and if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also, handling the plant may cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction. [37]

Culture

On 7 February 1967, a stamp was issued in Hungary that shows Iris hungarica. [38]
