Trimezia northiana, synonym Neomarica northiana, [1] also known as North's false flag [2] or walking iris, is a flowering plant, native to Brazil, with a rhizomatous rootstock, belonging to the iris family, Iridaceae.
The English names walking iris, apostle's iris and apostle plant have been used for many species, regardless of the generic placement (e.g. for Trimezia gracilis, syn. Neomarica gracilis). New plantlets form at the end of the flower spikes; after flowering, the spikes fall over and a new plant grows, so the plant "walks".
Another difference is that the leaves of T. martinicensis are narrower, only about 1.3 cm (0.5 in) wide, whereas those of T. steyermarkii are 2.5–3.4 cm (1.0–1.3 in) wide. [ 12 ] References
Trimezia candida, synonym Neomarica candida, [3] also known as white walking iris, is species of flowering plant. It was first described by Emil Hassler and given the name Neomarica candida by Thomas Archibald Sprague . [ 4 ]
Iris henryi has a short perianth tube and long pedicel, while with Iris minutoaurea it is the other way around. [2] It has a yellowish brown, slender, wiry, rhizome, [3] [4] measuring about 2 cm (1 in) long and 0.5 cm (0 in) wide, [5] that produces many branches and stolons. [6] [7] This branching habit forms clumps of plants.
It has very large green rhizomes, which are between 5 and 12 inches (13 – 30 cm) long and 0.75 to 1.5 inches (2–4 cm) thick. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] They are shallow rooted, marked with the scars (of the previous seasons) leaves, with many branches, which can form a large clump/colony growing up to 6 x 3 feet (182 x 91 cm).

It has 3.5–4 cm (1–2 in) long style branches, in similar colours to the standards. [3] It has bright, orange-red pollen and two stigma (looking like fangs). [5] After the iris has flowered, it produces a cylindric seed capsule, 3.5–7 cm (1–3 in) long and 1.6 cm wide, with a beaked top, between July and September. [3]
