HIST: I. germanica or 'Germanica'?


Hello All,

I'm confused.  Iris germanica - Is this a species as the presentation of 
the name in both the '39 CL and in the photo gallery on the HIPS site 
would indicate, or is it, as is stated in TWOI, a hybrid intermediate of 
unknown origin which has been assigned the *cultivar* name 'Germanica'?  
If 'Germanica' (cultivar name) is correct, has that correction been made 
in any CL since '39?  Or is the info in TWOI (pgs. 13-14) incorrect or 
misleading ... or just being misinterpreted by me?

Is it correctly I. germanica in italics (species) or Iris 'Germanica' 
(cultivar)?

Thank you in advance for any clarification.

Laurie
