Re: Iris setosa / I. hookeri

Debbie & all,
         I believe I. hookerii IS the currently accepted name for this 
plant.  This is the name used in SIGNA's checklist; a few years ago studies 
were done which showed it to be cytologically different enough from setosa 
to deserve species rank.  So the "outmoded" name hookerii was 
reinstated.  Perhaps one of the taxonomy guys wants to comment...
