Iris uniflora var. caricina Kitag. – which has a flower spike, growing shorter than the foliage.
Iris uniflora is a species in the genus Iris, native to temperate regions of Asia. It is a rhizomatous perennial with thin grass-like leaves and stems, and purple, blue-purple or violet flowers. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant in temperate regions and is used within Tibetan herbal medicines. It has a thin creeping rhizome that is brown and branched, with fibrous roots. It has slender flowering stems that grow up to 15 cm long, occasionally branched, and thin grass-like leaves (linear and lanceolate). It blooms between May and June, normally with one flower, but occasionally with two flowers, which have a violet-like fragrance. It has been examined several times to find its chromosome count, which is 2n = 40. It is found in Central Asia, Russia, Mongolia, Tibet, Korea and China. It grows on the grasslands, (steppes) on the forest margins, in deciduous woods, hillsides and mountain slopes. It is stable in culture, winters without shelter, and
