Dear friends- I am still wishing for something vaguely definitive in identifying Neomarica sp - a key perhaps. I) "The European Garden Flora" has the following key (paraphrased): 1a Outer perianth segments yellow N. brachypus (A) 1b Outer segments, blue, white or lilac -2 2a Leaves ribbed, outer perianth white, styles 2 part -3 2b Leaves not ribbed, outer perianth blue to lilac, styles 3 part N. coerulea 3a Plants to 90 cm, flowers 6-10 cm N. northiana (A) 3b Plants to 60 cm, flowers to 5 cm N. gracilis (A) But this and all yellow-flowered species such as northiana, longifolia etc are now in 'some other genus' - Trimezia? II) According to Dave and PBS wiki Outer perianth blue N. coerulea Fruit opens longitudinally N. sp Fruit opens only at superior end ( same as N. sabini?) Outer perianth white N. candida ( 40 cm tall) N. northiana (80 cm tall) N. gracilis - w/ long peduncles Where's N. sabini? III) It is beginning to make some sense to me... well, almost. Flowers yellow Genus Trimezia Flowers (outer perianth segments) , white or blue Genus Neomarica 4 species ? ( or 7 species?) Outer perianth segments blue/lilac N. coerulea Uncertain N. sabini Outer perianth segments white- to 60 cm elongate peduncles N gracilis - to 40 cm peduncles not elongate(?) N candida IV) But Lee Poulsen submitted pix from Brazil of N. glauca, N. pardina. N. pulchella, and N. sabini Thanks to all. Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
