Re: Vic -- Iris tridentata

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comments.  I am totally unfamiliar with tridentata occurring in drainages to the Atlantic Ocean.  The populations that I am familiar with occur in drainages to the Gulf of Mexico.

Dear Victor;

 

            I love the fact that you have called some of my statements into question. I am constantly re-evaluating information that I have about various Irises. When I was doing much of the research for the SIGNA checklist, I would go to the Missouri Botanical Garden library and photo copy the sources. I now have about six big plastic tubs full of photo copies each the size of a file drawer. Unfortunately I tend to be somewhat messy in my filing, so I can not always put my finger on the copies I need. Originally I would embed the references to various bits of information in the checklist, but protests that this made it too difficult to read, made me remove most of those notes. I do maintain a complete bibliography of about 1100 Iris references but sometimes it is not always easy to remember which ones contain what. Much of the work on the encyclopedia has been to restore these referrals of where the information came from. But I regret to say that I can not always quickly provide references.
