Hi Dennis,
I'm pretty sure it is Iris collettii. I. collettii is, in fact, native
to the mountains of Thailand and surrounding regions. You might check
with Carla Lankow; she just wrote an article on I. collettii, I.
barbatula, and I. decora. A photo of seeds would help; the subgenus
Nepalensis have a fairly distinct form of aril.
By the way, if you can verify the id, you might ask permission to add
the photos the the database. They are very nice pictures.

Subject: Please help ID this iris from Thailand
Hi all,
I've been collecting some plants of the Iridaceae family mostly
Dietes, Neomarica and
Louisiana Iris. They grow quite well in Thailand.
Today my friend asked me about this iris she found up in the
mountain in Chiangmai, northern Thailand.
I'm sure it's not native plant here but failed to give her the name.
Can anybody help me ID this iris?
here are links to the pictures

Best regards,
KaDAI
