Jeff,
In the Cornell Bulletin 112 is says I. cypriana's
spathe valves re broad, membranous and nearly wholly scarious, but it says I.
germanica's spathe valves are broad and navicular much flushed with purple and
scarious in the upper. Help me out here. What does navicular mean? Do some I.
germanica's have snaky stalks?
