Iris alba versicolor.

THe white variable Flower-de-luce in roots & green leavs is like that of Camerarius; the stalk riseth almost a yard high, bearing four or five flowers one above another, which are of a silver colour, with a list of blewish purple down the backs of the top-leaves, and the lower leaves are whipt about the edges with blew, the arched leaves of a pale sky-colour, and more blew towards the ridge; this is a pret∣ty flower, but doth not deserve that nick-name Iris gloriosa as some have put upon it.
