Abstract:First,Iris subdichotoma Y.T.Zhao was put in SubgenPardanthopsis (Hance) Baker in 1985 as its appearance is similar to Idichotoma Pall.,and then it was moved into SubgenCrossiris Spach by Dong et al.in 1999,when a clear crested appendage on outer perianth was noticed from other materials.But we prefer to regard it as a member of SubgenNepalensis (Dykes) Lawr.by reasons of possessing slender residues of withered leaves at its base,short rhizome,scape arising beyond basic leaves,blooming habit,sculpture of pollens.In addition,a white flower form of Isubdichotoma was found in wild.
