Iris virginica, with the common name Virginia blueflag,[2] Virginia iris, great blue flag, or southern blue flag,[4] is a perennial species of flowering plant in the Iridaceae (iris) family, native to central and eastern North America.
It was identified as a separate species by Edgar Anderson, and is one of the three Iris species in Anderson's Iris flower data set, used by Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper "The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems" as an example of linear discriminant analysis.[5][6]
