Appearance
''Iris bucharica'' has a yellowish white bulb, about 2 cm in diameter, with thin fleshy roots. It grows 20–40 cm high.The lanceolate leaves which are blue-green below and glossy green above, reach up to 3.5 cm wide and 20 cm long. They are scattered up the flower stems.
Each stem produces up to seven unscented flowers in spring. They bloom in order from the top of the stem, going downwards. The perianth tube is about 4.5–5 cm long. Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals , known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals , known as the 'standards'. The flowers have white or creamy white standards with yellow falls. The falls sometimes have brown markings and a deep yellow crest. The flowers are about 2.5 in across. Pure yellow forms are occasionally wrongly labelled as ''I. orchioides'' . The stigmas are semicircular, with whitish anthers and pollen.
''Iris bucharica'', ''Iris orchioides'' and ''Iris warleyensis'' all have cubiform seeds.
