>"A cytogenetic survey of some Asiatic collected specimens...has revealed

>number of 2n = 30, was received as a form of I. confusa. However, it had
>a growth habit similar to that of I. wattii and had large, white,
>self-fertile flowers, thus making it distinct from I. confusa and probably
>also from I. wattii. Unfortunately the supplier of this new iris had no
>details of its origin; an dthis lack of information precludes any attempt
>to justify describing it as a new species. For recording purposes, it has
>been referred to as I. 'nova' (Ellis 1980). In its growth form and
>chromosome number it shows close affinity to both Ii. confusa and wattii
>and will readily hybridize with both species"

>Does anyone on the list have more information about this plant?
