Taxon info

Iris sintenisii occurs in SE Europe and NW Anatolia; plants from S Italy (I. lorea) may be conspecific. In Greece it is scattered in grassland and deciduous scrub, mainly in the north. It was named after Paul Sintenis (1847–1907), a German pharmacist and prolific plant collector who made two important expeditions in N Greece in 1891 and 1896. Many new species were based on his collections, which are represented in several European herbaria, with the main set at the University of Lund (LD).A
