In our marshes in early summer abundant specimens of a wild species may be obtained without much trouble, but the cultivated plants will probably be more accessible. Note first the fleshy underground stem or root- stock, with the fibrous roots below (Fig. 88). If you have a sufficient length of this root- stock you will notice the scars upon the' older portions, show- ing where the leaves of former seasons have been sent up. The new buds ex- pand into a crowded Fig. 88. cluster of leaves, the shape and arrangement of which should be carefully observed. Cut the whole cluster across near the base, and the section will be as repre- sented in Fig. 89, the section of each leaf being V-shaped,. Fig. 88.—Root-stock and leaves of Iris. (Gray.)
