Abstract

A taxonomic revision of Iris subser. Sibiricae is provided based on the molecular results and the study of herbarium collections, protologues and original material. Two to three species have been recognized in this subseries by botanists. To address the question of species delimitations and relationships within this group, we analyzed four non-coding regions of plastid DNA (trnS?trnG, trnL?trnF, rps4?trnSGGA, and psbA?trnH) for samples from 26 localities across the distribution ranges of two currently recognized species, I. sanguinea and I. sibirica. Our results strongly support that this subseries is monotypic and comprises only I. sibirica, a previously described species, instead of two or three species. Iris sibirica is morphologically variable and one of the most widespread Eurasian species of Iridaceae. Previously accepted taxa, I. sanguinea and I. typhifolia, are synonymised with I. sibirica and also two names, I. orientalis and I. sibirica var. haematophylla, which are typified here. Information on the distribution of I. sibirica and the main features used to distinguish between I. sibirica and I. subser. Chrysographes species are also provided.
