Iris cristata (Crested Iris) is of the genus Iris, subgenus Limniris. In North America, it is native to areas of the Eastern United States. It is a close relative to Iris lacustris which is the only other crested iris native to North America, but which is found only in small areas of the Great Lakes region which have been glacier-free for only 11,000 years.
