tarjonnut eFloras
According to B. Mathew (l.c. 110), this species is said to have originated in Kashmir. However, as it is associated with cemetries, it is not clear whether it is a truly wild plant in Kashmir or an introduction from places unknown. According to Bowley (l.c. 176) it is disturbing that it is only known to be growing wild in the valley of Kashmir, for, with so limited a location there must be some anxiety that it might disappear in the course of agriculture and other developments. I. crocea is a beautiful and stately plant, probably the most striking of all spurias. It thrives well in heavy loam in England (Bowley, l.c.).
