Re: setosa, hookeri, tridentata, var. canandensis and var. arctica

Dennis,

I'm not familiar with tridentata but raise quite a few forms of setosa. It
seems from the images that tridentata's signal resembles I. virginica more
than I. setosa. The stylearms are noticably different. Even the most
elaborate setosa (my light blue var. interior pictured) doesn't hold a
candle to the tridentata where length and curl are concerned.

In looking at the collected images of setosa, I noticed one that you might
want to reevaluate..... the Kmart "setosa" looks a lot more like I.
virginica. Kmart?!! :-)
