SPEC: I. missouriensis

I have just discovered another reference to I. missouriensis on the west
side of the Cascades.  In Lewis Clark's "Wild Flowers of British
Columbia" on page 48, there if reference to the species being found near
Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula and on Whidbey Island.  It mentions that
it is rare on the east side of the Cascades in British Columbia and does
not occur on the west side.

I should note that it also states that the roots were employed to
prepare an arrow poison which was claimed to have a deadly effect on
humans.  This opens up new opportunities for irisians!
