Simone: Your answer tickled me! I have been stashing all the answers to the
'pseudacorus question' and I will compile and put them on the list (and maybe
in our newsletter). The answer I got to my question is basically that there
IS no authority and that both pronounciations are acceptable (although
objectionable to this one and that one).
Tell me.... how can I get a copy of Blyth's catalog? I am keenly interested
in his irises - although they are a challange to grow here. A color catalog
would make me VERY happy.
