Iris nigricans

Iris nigricans, or commonly called black Iris (scientific name: Iris nigricans), endemic to Jordan, is a rhizomatous deciduous perennial herb of the iris family. It is the national flower of Jordan. The black iris is 35-40 cm tall, with broadly sword-shaped, 8 cm wide, recurved leaves.
Although Jordan is a country of mountains, valleys, and deserts, the black iris blooms in March and April, when the conditions are right: well-drained sandy soil, at least 8 hours of sunlight, and temperatures that are not too low. It is an endangered species.
