Bill,
Here is a transcription of the relevant Checklist entries for consideration
by yourself and anyone else who may be interested.
KOOTENAY. Sib-B1L (Preston 1932); Rept. Dom. Hort. 63. 1928; (Sibirica
maxima X SNOW QUEEN): Kellogg 1932; Rowan. 1938.
(Note: This is a straight 28-chromosome Siberian cross, so presumably it is
the cultivar identification of the Siberian parent and not the hybrid
offspring).
ROYAL CALIFORNIAN (Lenz, R. 1955). Hybrid between California (sic) and
Sibirica, 15", E, V3. S. and F. Bishop's violet (Wilson 34/1) to cobalt
violet (Wilson 634). I. douglasiana X I. sibirica Caesar's Brother.
TENOSA. MAP-Cal-R1M (Simonet-1938); Rev. Hort. 110: 281 16 Dec. 1938%%;
(tenax X setosa).
(Notes: 1. MAP is the '39 Checklist abbreviation for Miscellaneous
Beardless Iris Section - hybrids between Beardless and others, but
typically beardless. 2. The hyphen between the originator's name and year
means it is the year of description, not introduction. 3. The double
percent sign means there was a color plate in the reference cited.)
Meta. Sib. (Dykes); J.R.H.S. 40: 2, cxvi. Nov. 1914; (tenax X wilsonii).
*JOHN WISTER. Spur-B (Den. 1919); Mil. 1919; Rev. Hort. 16 Oct. 1919; Den
1920a; (fulva X SPURIA AUREA); $.
(Notes: 1. The asterisk before the name means the cultivar was considered
obsolete in 1939. 2. The dollar sign at the end of the entry means the
cultivar had been superseded in 1939. 3. The next entry in the 1939
Checklist is as follows:
John Wister foliis variegatis. (Per. 1921)
CHRISSY WOLFE. MAP-R1M (Wolfe-H.M. N.) R., 1948; (DOROTHY K. WILLIAMSON X
spuria).
TRUE BLUE . Sib-B1D (Fry. 1919); Fry. 1919; Hubbard 1928; Cherry 1936.
(Query: Is this the supposed hybrid or the cultivar identity of the
Siberian parent?)
MRS. H. R. MOORE Spur-W4 (Fry-Jr. 1928) Fry. Nur. 1928; Wayman 1932; 1939;
(SPURIA AUREA X orientalis).
(Note: "orientalis" was the 1939 Checklist designation of the species
currently known as I. sanguinea; the spuria species that has been called I.
orientalis is designated I. ochroleuca in the '39 Checklist, but is the
usage consistent in this entry, or could this be a straight spuria
hybrid?).
