REF: OT A Bit--Botanicus

I did a quick search, but did not find anything with iris as my search
term, but it is an ongoing project. In the meanwhile, this may be an
interesting place to learn about other species and varieties of plants.

Botanicus
http://www.botanicus.org/

The Missouri Botanical Garden Library has many lovely examples of 18th
and
19th century botanical literature from all around the world. While they
began digitizing some of these works in 1995, they recently decided to
expand their collection to include non-illustrated works of significant
importance to taxonomic botany. Drawing on support from the W.M. Keck
Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, their database has been
expanded to include over 280 books and journals with a total page count
that
exceeds 790,000 pages. On their homepage, visitors can click on an
interactive list of subjects in order to locate items of interest, or
they
can also search the database by title, an author list, or year of
publication. Interested parties may wish to also sign up for their RSS
feed
or just read through their latest news updates.
