Iris caerulea versicolor.

THe blew party-coloured Flower-de-luce hath green leaves some∣thing lesser than the former; the flowers are variable in their colours, for some have the falls blew at the edges and the rest white, the arched leaves of a whitish yellow, and the top-leaues of a pale sky-colour with yellowish edges; in some the blew is deeper with dark spots, in some very pale; and there is one whose upright leaves are of a bright watchet, with yellowish edges, and the fal∣ling leaves party-coloured, half blew, and the other ash-colour, with yellowish edges.
