Abstract
The article represents a comparison of rare species morphometric indicators and seed productivity of the genus Iris in the South Urals. It’s shown that I. scariosa, I. humilis and I. pseudacorus habitus deteriorate and seed productivity decreases under culture conditions, but I. pumila samples in culture outstrip plants in natural habitats. I. pumila is promising for cultivation in the South Ural region
Highlights
Species of the genus Iris L. are characterized with high decorative qualities; since the ancient times they have been introduced into flower culture and widely used in settlement greening, erven, gardens
Many wild species of the genus are included in the Red Books of various regions, because they disappear under the influence of anthropogenic factors
All studied species are listed in the Red Book of the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB) [1] (2011) and 2 species (Iris pumila, I. scariosa) are included in the Red Book of the Russian Federation (RF) [2] (2008)
Summary
Species of the genus Iris L. are characterized with high decorative qualities; since the ancient times they have been introduced into flower culture and widely used in settlement greening, erven, gardens. Reproduction and other characteristics has important biological significance, but allows us to recommend the most resistant species with valuable decorative qualities to expand the range of flower-decorative plants.
