Just what is it all about, you ask.
From the introduction:
"This book is a new approach to Checklists. It draws on information about
arils and arilbreds from many different sources and presents it in a single,
comprehensive volume and in convenient alphabetical form --without
sacrificing the precision of the original sources. It includes cultivars
that qualified as arils and arilbreds under all classification systems used
by AIS or ASI over the years......"
You may remember the query about the iris STRIPED BUTTERFLY a few weeks ago
on this list. It is listed as a TB in the AIS checklist, and it does not
appear in the Aril Society International checklist, as it no longer
"qualifies" under present rules.
Here is the very informative entry from McAllister's Comprehensive Checklist:
STRIPED BUTTERFLY DIS (Luella Noyd, R. 1956). Sdlg N5-34. TB, 34", M.
"Butterfly Wings" x Cahokia. Light blue self, falls veined darker
violet-blue; yellow beard; small area of olive-ochre at haft. Noyd, 1958.
Notes: 1/8 onco, qualified as an arilbred until the quantum requirement was
adopted. Ref: AIS '59, p.188.
Just a sample of the nuggets of aril lore found in these pages. A very
useful and important contribution to iris literature, and HIPS is pleased and
honored to distribute it. Thank you, Sharon!
