Moraea (English spelling)

Japanese: モレア(英語表記)Moraea
Moraea (English spelling)
A perennial plant of the Iridaceae family cultivated for ornamental purposes. It is not widely used in Japan, but has been cultivated in Europe for a long time. The shape of the flowers and vegetative organs is very similar to that of the Iris genus, and they are closely related. It is distinguished from the Iris genus by the fact that the bases of the tepals are not fused and that they have corms underground. There are about 100 species in the Moraea genus, distributed in central and southern Africa. Of these, about 25 species are cultivated. M. iridioides L. (English name African iris) has a white outer perianth that is about 3 cm long.
