From Robert Wayman's Iris catalog for 1938: "A most unusual dark colored iris. S - bright chalcedony yellow, blending to a rosy buff border. F- rich blackish-maroon. It looks black from certain angles and in certain lights. A rich dark unique colored blend that looks especially well under artificial light."
El Tovar: (H. Sass). Very rich but disappointing after the build-up of advance reports. [Belsley, Ray J., Varietal Comments. Bulletin of the American Iris Society 74 (July 1939), 17.]
