Abstract
In this paper, the plant lists of the genus Iris (Iridaceae family) grown in Zagreb Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science since 1895 are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. Lists of species grown in the last 124 years have been constructed to show that during that period at least 273 taxa of wild and cultivated irises inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 168 species, cultivars and hybrids.
