Iris albomarginata is a species in the genus Iris, in the subgenus of Scorpiris.

It is a bulbous perennial.

It was first described by (Russian Botanist Boris Fedtschenko) in Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissier, page 917 in 1904. But it was called Iris coerulea. When Foster was working on irises, he found that Iris coerulea was used to name an Iris pumila hybrid. He then renamed the iris as Iris albomarginata because the leaves of the iris had a white edging. This edging was a characteristic of several of the species in the Scorpiris subgenus section of irises.

It was then re-published as Iris albomarginata in 'Contributions from the Gray Herbarium' of Harvard University in 1936.

Iris albomarginata is an accepted name by the RHS.

Several specimums can be found in Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Habit
