CHRYSOGRAPHES HYBRIDS (DIPLOID)
Hybrids with 2n=40 chromosomes,  derived by crossing the Chinese species Iris chrysographes, Iris delavayi, Iris clarkei, Iris bulleyana, Iris forrestii und Iris wilsonii.The last two species have contributed yellow flower colour components, whereas  Iris clarkei is often responsibe for the expression of lighter coloured "eyes" on the falls.

The irises of the Chrysographes group are still considered as members of the Sibiricae Series, in spite of the fact that hybridization experiments and genetic analysis have shown, that they belong to separate group not closely related to the Sibiricas.
