A data frame with 150 observations on the following 4 variables.
The data were published by Anderson (1935) from measurements taken on plants in the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec. The three species are blue-flowered water loving irises, or flags, similar to the European yellow flag. The data were analysed by Fisher (1936) as an example of discriminant analysis and are often known as "Fisher's Iris data".
