Re: RE Iris plicata

Thanks. This is a great start. The website provided  nice  browsing.

I still need
 1)dates of first recording of "plicata" and "Swertii" ( when first seen in gardens)
 2) references for identification of these as pallida ( I had understood Beure had made some identification as to these being the result of crosses between pallida and variagata but need his refernces.

I have heard it suggested that 'Swertii' is the original I. plicata clone, but there are other old plicata I. pallida cultivars that might be it.  I would guess that odds are it is impossible to be sure which cultivar was the original plant, nor if it is still being growing.  Regardless, there are quite a number of I. pallida plicatas, and I would think that the genetics of most of them are quite similar.
