This is one of 2 species discovered in southern China on an expedition in
2003. It was officially named in 2020. It's in the Chinenses series,
closely related to Iris odaesanensis, henryi, koreana, minutoaurea, etc.
I've been lucky enough to have it in my garden for 7 years or so, but I
rarely seem to catch it in bloom. It's blooming now along with the tall
bearded irises, whereas my other Chinenses were in bloom in April (before
the neighboring plants grow up and obscure them).
