Patersonia, is a genus of plants whose species are commonly known as native iris or native flag and are native to areas from Malesia to Australia.[2]
Description
They are perennials with basal leaves growing from a woody
stigma.[3]
Taxonomy
The genus Patersonia was first formally described in 1807 by Robert Brown in the Botanical Magazine.[4] The genus name is a tribute to the first Lieutenant Governor of New South Wales in Australia, William Paterson, "a gentleman whose name has been long familiar to the naturalist".[5][6]
