Iris mariae |
|||
This is a rare Oncocyclus found in a limited area of Egypt and Israel. |
|||
The rhizome is short with slender, 10-12cm long foliage which sits below 25cm stems which each holds a flower of self-coloured, |
|||
pink to pale violet. The petals are satin-textured and lightly marked with fine veining of purple which is only visible close to. |
|||
In the centre of each petal is a large and conspicuous deep purple signal patch and a purple beard. |
|||
A very attractive dwarf species restricted to stable sand dunes and loessial sand in the Negev desert. |
|||
Requires very good drainage, restricted water and freedom from the worst of frosts, although correct cultivation |
|||
(keeping it barely dry in the winter) will make it more cold tolerant. |

Common name=Mary's Iris or Negev Iris |
|||
Country of Origin-Isreal |
|||
Sharing a forename with the mother of Jesus, this psammophyte grows in the stable sands of the Western Negev and Northern Sinai, |
|||
which receive up to 150mm of rain per year. Its lilac blooms, sitting atop of recurved glaucus leaves, contrast with the yellow desert |
|||
in February and March. This species of Oncocyclus iris is threatened by illegal harvesting, climate change, urbanisation and the impacts |
|||
of modern agriculture. |

Iris mariae is one of the Oncocyclus group of Iris. Of the Iridaceae, Oncocyclus have possibly the most showy flowers in relation to the size of plant. They mostly come from southern Europe and the Middle East and due to overharvesting, for the cut flower industry/western horticulture, many have become critically endangered. This much is true of my Iris mariae. It is found only in the westernmost part of the Negev desert and a small area of north-eastern Sinai and is becoming increasingly rare. Inbreeding, poor ‘conservation’ land management, political unrest and the illegal trade for horticulture threaten it greatly ( the one I have comes from long time cultivated plants in the UK). |

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'.[1]
Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes. This can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings.[1]
