Bräuchler, C. & Cikovac, P.: Iris orjenii (Iridaceae) — a new species from the littoral Dinaric Alps. — Willdenowia 37: 221-228. — ISSN 0511-9618; © 2007 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.37.37112 (available via  http://dx.doi.org/)

Iris orjenii from Mt Orjen in Montenegro is described as a species new to science, it is illustrated and the chromosome number of 2n = 24 is given. The differences from the closely related I. pseudopallida and I. reichenbachii are pointed out and details on the synecology of the new species are provided.
