Iris xiphium, commonly known as the Spanish Iris, is an iris native to Spain. It is bulbous and bears handsome blue and yellow flowers, though they are not so large as those of I. xiphiodes. This species is also known as the Small Bulbous rooted Iris and many hybrids are known as Dutch Iris. The Spanish iris is favoured by florists for its striking colour combinations.
