<< Interestingly, Anne Blanco White has a most interesting article in the
latest
British Iris Society Year Book, entitled: "Iris hookeri Returns to the
Species Lists". Have you seen it Ian? Based on Japanese research, the
chemical composition of the iris that Mathew et al have referred to as I.
setosa subspecies canadensis, is much different from other forms of I.
setosa. (Of course, its dwarf form makes it look much different!)

How does canadensis differ from other dwarf forms of setosa, e.g. arctica?
Does the new name change apply to all Canadian/Alaskan dwarf forms of setosa,
or just canadensis? (I have read Anne's article, but she does not say - I may
give her a call).
Mathew does not shed much light here (canadensis is "variable")
