So... is it the true astrachanica or "what had been
circulated under that name" that was used in other
MTBs like ASTRA GIRL? Has the true astrachanica been
used at all? And which is it that's still around and
called KALMIKIJ?
I may be dreaming this up, but I seem to remember
something mentioned about a possible confusion between
Iris scariosa and astrachanica.
