What is the actual problem statement of Iris flower in Neural Network Pattern Recognition tool in Matlab?

I am new to the Neural Networking concept.In iris flower pattern recognition problem I don't understand the problem statement. I understood the Breast Cancer problem but not making any head away with this problem. I have plotted the target values:

and I have plotted the input plot:

Can anybody explain this problem?

Thanks in advance.

1. The data lies in a 4-dimensional space. Project the data onto whatever orthogonal planes you need to view the problem. For example view the problem via

    (x1,x2), (x1,x3), (x1,x4), (x2,x3), (x2,x4) and (x3,x4)

2. See what others have done with the problem by searching BOTH NEWSGROUP and ANSWERS using the search word IRIS

Hope this helps.
