Re: Recommended Ref

 

In terms of printed books, I like

  A Guide to Species Irises, Edited by The Species Group of the British Iris Society 1997

I frequently compare it's info to entries in

   The Iris, by Brian Mathew, 1989 (reprint with revisions)

and for specifically Chinese iris

   Iris of China, by James W. Waddick and Zhao Yu-tang, 1992

For a continental perspective on growing numerous species, a good book is

   Iris, by Fritz K öhlein, translation to English 1987

Even though some of the names have changed it is sometime nice to go back to Dykes. There is a reduced-size reprint

   The Genus Iris, by William Rickatson Dykes, 1974

For a quick reference to species and named varieties, try

   S.I.G.N.A. Species Group of North America Checklist of Iris
