*The iris, family Iridaceae, was designated the official state cultivated flower in 1973 by the 88th General Assembly. The Official State seal of Tennessee originally designed in 1801, features the plow, sheaf of wheat, and cotton stalk as symbols of Tennessee agriculture, and the riverboat represents the importance of river traffic to commerce in the state. Tennessee's official state motto was taken from the words on the state seal; "Agriculture and Commerce." The number 16 appears as a Roman numeral, signifying that Tennessee was the 16th U.S. state.
