It has two pairs of petals, three large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and three inner, smaller petals (or tepals ), known as the 'standards'. The falls are 6–8 cm (2–3 in) long, and 2.5–3.5 cm (1–1 in) wide. The standards are 6.5 cm (3 in) long, and 3 cm (1 in) wide. Each petal has

84-480: A red skin. At the end of each stolon, it forms a new rhizome, creating widespread colonies of plants. Other 'Regelia section' irises also have stolons. Also Iris japonica , Iris prismatica and Iris henryi produce stolons. It has dark blue-green, or glaucous leaves. They are sword-shaped, and 30–60 cm (12–24 in) long, and 0.8 cm to 2 cm wide. They are prominently veined, and semi-evergreen, disappearing after summer, after

As most irises, this species is diploid , having two sets of chromosomes . This can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. It has a chromosome count: 2n=44. It has the common names of 'Pamiriris'. It

It has red-skinned stolon roots and rhizomes, glaucous, long, blue-grey leaves, and bi-coloured flowers, in various shades from milky white, to blue, purple, pale lilac, lavender and brown. It normally has blue to yellow beards on all the petals. It has a rhizome, that in the spring, sends out thin, and long, (up to 20 cm (8 in) long, ) secondary roots (or stolons ), which have

189-610: Is known as 'Pobegonosy Iris' in Russia. The Latin specific epithet stolonifera derives from its thin stolon-like roots. (See description for more details.) It was first collected by Olga Fedtschenko in around 1870, It was first published and described by Karl Maximovich in the 'Bull. Acad. Imp. Sci. Saint-Pétersbourg' Vol.26 on page 535 in 1880. It was also published in 'Mélanges Biol. Bull. Phys.-Math. Acad. Imp. Sci. Saint-Pétersbourg' (Diagn. pl. nov. asiat. or 'Diagnoses Plantarum Asiaticarum') Vol. 10 on page 731 in 1880. It

210-782: Is mainly located on the southern slopes of the Zarafshan Range . The population of the district is overwhelming Tajik , with the Kitob town being almost entirely inhabited by that ethnic group. In 1979, the Kitab State Geological Reserve was established within the district. It has various protected flora and fauna. Flora includes; Tulipa ingens , Ferula moschata , Acanthophyllum gypsophiloides , Allium stipatatum , Crocus korolkowii , Tulipa turkestanica , Eremurus robustus , Colchicum kesselringii , Sternbergia fischeriana and Iris stolonifera . Birds found in

231-454: Is very cold hardy , to USDA Zone 5, or between Zone 5 to Zone 8. It is also hardy in Europe to Zone H3. In very cold areas, such as Russia, the plant may die out after 2 or 3 years. It prefers to grow in well-drained soils, which are rich in humus . It can tolerate soils with a ph level of 6.8. It prefers positions in full sun. It needs a dormant dry period (or drought) during

One reference (Flora of S.S.S.R.) mentions wet meadows and stream sides, also mentioned by the British Iris Society Guide, but herbarium specimens do not support this habitat, also the other irises in the Regelia section are also mountainside irises. They can be found at an altitude of 800 to 2,400 m (2,600 to 7,900 ft) above sea level. It

273-473: The Lower Carbonifer-us period, the sections made up of marine -edimentary formations are mainly composed of carbonate and less terrigenous and volcanogenic rocks with a total thickness of more than 4000 m. Most of them consist of various paleontological fossils in the form of microscopic and macroscopic remains, which are important for determining the age and correlation of deposits, for understanding

294-469: The reserve is 1300–2650 m, the relative height is from 500 m to 1500 m. The terrain is rocky, sharply divided in the highlands, and somewhat flat in the middle altitudes. As a result of the deep cutting of the mountain ridges of Obisafed, Khojakurgan, Zinzilbon, and Novabak streams, scenic mountain ravines were created. One of the international stratigraphic benchmarks of the Devonian system,

The stem has (scarious) membranous, spathes or bracts (leaves of the flower bud), which are 6.5 cm (3 in) long. The stems hold 2–3 terminal (top of stem) flowers, blooming in late spring, between April and June, or May, or between May and June. The scented, flowers are 7–8 cm (3–3 in) in diameter.

Its cuttings became the basis for granting international status to the reserve. In the territory of the reserve, from the Middle Ordovician to

420-1072: The summer. The plants are not tolerant of winds. In non-hardy places, it is best grown in a bulb frame. It can be also grown in rock garden. The plants should be planted at a depth of 2 inches, in October. It is thought to be one of the easiest 'Regelia' section irises to cultivate, as it is more adaptable and vigorous than others. Iris stolonifera has been crossed with Iris korolkowii to create different coloured hybrids that have dark brown or deep blue beards. It has been crossed with other irises but did not produce very suitable crosses. There are several different cultivars, including 'Chocolate', 'Decorated Blue Beard', 'Decorated Delight', 'Decorated Giant', 'George Barr', 'Here I Am', 'Leichtlini', 'Merlin's Magic', 'Network', 'Real Harmony', 'Red, White, And Blue', 'Conical', 'Turkish Dancer', 'Turkish Delight', 'Vaga', and 'Zwanenburg Beauty'. 'Zwanenburg Beauty' has blue (or blue white ) flowers that are edged in bronze and have bronze veins. It grows to

Iris stolonifera is an accepted name by the RHS , and it was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 2 October 2014.
