Although widely known as Iris albicans, it is actually a white form of Iris x germanica and should correctly be called Iris x germanica subsp. albicans.

A low-growing iris, up to 30 cm tall, with pure white flowers with a yellow beard. Reportedly planted in the past by road builders in the Algarve and often seen flowering along roadsides in spring. It thrives in sunny sites on poor, dry, stony soils.

Native to many countries in the Middle East and North Africa. It was later introduced to Spain and then to other European countries. It is a natural hybrid.
