Iris barnum(i)ae


 

Anybody know what the correct spelling is for this species? Dykes, Mathew and the BIS species guide all list it as Iris barnumae, but Kew and the other online lists refer to it as Iris barnumiae. I checked the original publication, and it was actually written as Iris barnumi. Not helpful! It was named for a Mrs. Barnum, so I assume it was corrected to have a feminine suffix.
