The falls are oblong or lanceolate-obovate shaped, and are long and 0.6-0.9 cm wide.〔〔〔 They have a yellow,〔 or whitish beard in the middle of the leaf.〔〔〔 They have darker veining.〔〔 The standards are lanceolate, narrow, with a canaliculate (small channel) on the haft (section of the petal closest to the stem).〔〔〔 It has a small perianth tube, cm long,〔〔 1.0 cm long filaments, 1-1.5 cm long anthers,〔〔 and a globose and crenulated (notched) stigma. It has a pale lilac,〔 and cm long style branches, which are keeled, and have narrow lobes which are 8mm long.〔〔 After the iris has flowered, it produces an oval seed capsule, which is long.〔〔 The seeds come out of the capsule via lateral slits,〔 they are 5mm long and pear shaped.〔〔 They have a whitish, ring shaped aril (appendage), on the smaller end.〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iris falcifolia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
