A Guide to Species Irises: Their Identification and Cultivation

Species Group of the British Iris Society,Species Group Of The Biritsh Iris Societ,Species Group Staf British Iris Society,Christabel King
This volume provides 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. Following the pattern of the original Dykes monograph, contributors supply botanical details, cultivation suggestions and general comments, accompanied by generous illustrations with accurate line drawings, color pictures of unusual species and distribution maps. This new survey includes all of the species that have been described so far this century and takes into account the many changes in classification within the group.
