Re: Neomarica eximia

Which of Gil's articles are you looking at? There seems to be three
groups in south America looking at the iridaceae there, and they don't
seem to be talking to each other. they all have different views. Two of
them are having a publications war re nomenclature.

Chuck,

Here's the plant. Not much to see really, only a single fan. The stalk
was almost this tall before I staked it. I'm sure in the outdoors it
would have "walked." The yard stick against the wall is for scale!

I looked at Gil's thesis a bit last night. It looks like he has moved
this and a few other Neomarica to a yet unnamed genus based on DNA
studies.  He has also says fluminensis is the same as sabini.
