Re: Iris barnum(i)ae

 

The SIGNA Species guide also lists it as Iris barnumae.   I know that Bob Pries put a lot of effort into making sure the nomenclature and checking out anything that was questionable.   So I will put my money on I. barnumae.
 
My own research says it was first described by Baker and Foster as I. barnumae as well.

Subject: [iris-species] 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.
