University Press and the information is available at web site

this site. Here is description of the book......
A Guide to Species Irises
Their Identification and Cultivation
Species Group of the British Iris Society, The (ed.) Line drawings by
Christabel King
This is the first comprehensive, botanically detailed and up-to-date survey
of this beautiful group
of plants since publication of The Genus Iris by W. R. Dykes early this
century. Based on the
most recent classification, the work includes all of the species which have
been described so far
this century, bringing together information currently scattered throughout
the literature. Accurate
line drawings, colour pictures of unusual species and distribution maps
increase the appeal for
professionals and amateurs alike.
