Iris Latifolia Tuberosa

See. Zingiber.

Ibis vulgaris; iris hortensis nostras; iris Ger- manica Lin. Sp. Pl. 55; iris purpurea, the common purple iris. Several blue or purple flowers stand on one stalk: their arched segments bearded with a yel-lowish matter. The plant is a native of the mountainous parts of Germany, common in our gardens, and flowers in June. The roots, when fresh, smell disagreeably, have an acrid nauseous taste, and are a strong irritating cathartic. The expressed juice has been given in a dropsy, from two to four drachms diluted with water. By gently inspissating the juice it is less active; but, if inspissated to dryness, it loses its purging quality. The dried root resembles in smell and taste the Florentine species.
