Re: Seed lot lot 13TR231, Iris lokeai

 

It seems plausible having come from an island that its gene pool was restricted long enough to diverge from the mainland population. I'm looking forward to reading the article! Here's a link to the map location of that island. https://goo.gl/maps/0sOgd I wonder how long that island has been separated from the mainland?

Hi All,

Dr. Nina Alexeeva has described the plant that seed lot 13TR231 came from as a new species distinct from I. setosa and named it I. lokeai. (2013, Bot. Journ., v. 98, N 11, p. 1415-1420) She sites differences in the rhizomes, leaves, bracts and flowers. There will be an article in the winter issue of SIGNA. I still have a few packets of seeds of this selection. You can order from the SIGNA web site.
