Comparative morphological analyses of the Genus Iris l., series Pallidae (A. Kern.) Trinajstić (Iridaceae)

The qualitative morphological features of the Alpine-Dinaric and cultivated populations, as well as of the herbarium specimens of the genus Iris, series Pallidae, were investigated. The height of the plant, leaves, inflorescens, flowers (spathe, perigonium, androecium, gynoecium), fruits and seeds were analysed. It was established that analysed morphological features did not shown phenotypic plasticity. The following qualitative morphological features have possible diagnostic significance: intensity of the leaf vein, spathe colour, perigonium colour, and pollen and seed morphology. Of no diagnostic use are ratio of filament and anther lengths (individual variability), and size and form of the fruits (intrapopulation variability).
