CHRYSATA HYBRIDS (DIPLOID)
Hybrids with 2n=40 chromosomes, derived from the species of the Chrysographes  group (Iris chrysographes, Iris delavayi, Iris clarkei, Iris bulleyana, Iris forrestii und Iris wilsonii) on one side and from forms of the Central-Asian Iris lactea (Series Ensatae) on the other side. Both groups have the same  chromosome number of 2n=40, but the chromosomes of both groups are not sufficiently analogue, and the diploid hybrids are, therefore, sterile. - Chrysata hybrids are tough and drought resistant plants. Their  flowers have a slight fragrance.
