General Species Information:
Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
NB: It's an iris, not a grass, so the old common name is very misleading
We originally considered we had 3 different varieties of these, but it seems they are all just the one; indicating it's variable nature.
