Well there were some Jessicas in the '39 checklist but they were all marked
obsolete or superceded and the name Jessica was released in the 1995
Checklist, then registered to Polly Black and the iris was introduced in the
same year:
JESSICA (Polly Black, R. 1995) Sdlg. MT21-35W. TB, 36" (91 cm), E. Ruffled
white self, green hint around beard; beards orange, tipped white. Purple
plicata sdlg. X unlnown. Polly Black 1995
I don't know where you can get it but you could write to:
