One translation of the Latin term 'Iris regis-uzziae' in Hebrew is אִירוּס טוּבְיָה [5]
It was first described in notes from Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1978 by Prof. Naomi Feinbrun-Dothan (an Israeli botanist).[6] She also then described it in The Iris Year Book 1979.[7]
It can be seen in Jerusalem Botanical Gardens.[1][8] It also can be found at Kew Botanic Gardens, but confusingly they call it 'Jordan Iris'.[9]
