Re: Neomarica eximia

Thanks.

Actually there have been several genetic studies. Here are two

Chauveau, O., Eggers, L., Souza-Chies, T. T., & Nadot, S. (2012).
Oil-producing flowers within the Iridoideae (Iridaceae): evolutionary
trends in the flowers of the New World genera. Annals of botany,
110(3), 713-729.

Lovo, J., Winkworth, R. C., & Mello-Silva, R. (2012). New insights into
Trimezieae (Iridaceae) phylogeny: what do molecular data tell us?.
Annals of botany, 110(3), 689-702.

And there is a publication war over classification system currently
ongoing. Publications and letters to editors arguing for their view.
and which genus names are valid or nor valid etc.

His thesis published last year. It's available for download if you
register. You may need to be affiliated with a university.
RevisÃo taxonÃmica e estudos filogenÃticos do gÃnero Neomarica s.l.
(Iridaceae)
It is in Portuguese and I've only used a translator on select bits so I
may not be getting the full picture. I believe this is the first DNA
work published on the Neomarica. I'm sure we've yet to hear the final
word.

  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 Chapman-----Original Message-----From: Rodney Barton

Attachment] 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.RodFrom: Chuck Chapman <irischapman@aim.com> To:

eximia blooming today! I had to stand in a chair. The stalk is almost
5' tall.RodneyIN Texas where we're finally getting all those stalks we
were wishing for AIS and now there is a freeze warning tonight! :(
