Iris Histrio
''Iris histrio'', the Syrian iris, is a species in the genus ''Iris'', it is classified in the subgenus ''Hermodactyloides'' and section ''Reticulatae''. It is a bulbous perennial from Central Asia: Kyrgyzstan, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and southern Turkey. It was first collected by Charles Gaillardot in Lebanon in 1854. In 1873, Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (Rchb.f) wrote about the bulb in his 'Botanische Notizen'. This then joined the subspecies of iris reticulata, which has now been grouped with other under the subgenus of Hermodactyloides. It is commonly known as the Syrian iris.Donald Wyman ''Iris histrio'' is an accepted name by the RHS. It has baby blue flowers with intricate markings, shading to purplish blue at the base. Like other members of the ''Reticulatae'' group, such as '' Iris vartanii'' and '' Iris danfordiae'', it throws out a very large number of small bulbils round the base of the bulb. If these are planted separately in a reserve ground, they will deve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach
Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach (Dresden, 3 January 1823 – Hamburg, 6 May 1889) was a botanist and the foremost German orchidologist of the 19th century. His father Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach (author of ''Icones Florae Germanicae et Helveticae'') was also a well-known botanist. Biography He started his study of orchids at the age of 18 and assisted his father in the writing of ''Icones''. He became a Doctor in Botany with his work on the pollen of orchids (see ‘Selected Works’). Soon after his graduation, Reichenbach was appointed to the post of extraordinary professor of botany at the Leipzig in 1855. He then became director of the botanical gardens at the Hamburg University (1863-1889). At that time, thousands of newly discovered orchids were being sent back to Europe. He was responsible for identifying, describing, classifying. Reichenbach named and recorded many of these new discoveries. He probably was not the easiest of personalities, and used to boast about h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Iris Reticulata
''Iris reticulata'', the netted iris or golden netted iris, is a species of flowering plant in the family (biology), family Iridaceae. It is native plant, native from eastern Turkey to Iran, but cultivated widely in temperateness, temperate regions. The reticulata group of irises is characterised by a fibrous net surrounding the bulb. They are small plants to , with tubular, sharply-pointed, ribbed leaves, and flowers of yellow, blue or purple with an orange blaze on the falls, appearing in early spring. They are Hardiness (plants), hardy, but prefer a well-drained sunny position in soil which dries out in summer; they are therefore suitable for a Alpinum (garden), rock or gravel garden.

Perianth
The perianth (perigonium, perigon or perigone in monocots) is the non-reproductive part of the flower, and structure that forms an envelope surrounding the sexual organs, consisting of the calyx (sepals) and the corolla (petals) or tepals when called a perigone. The term ''perianth'' is derived from Greek περί (, "around") and άνθος (, "flower"), while ''perigonium'' is derived from περί () and γόνος (, "seed, sex organs"). In the mosses and liverworts (Marchantiophyta), the perianth is the sterile tubelike tissue that surrounds the female reproductive structure (or developing sporophyte). Flowering plants In flowering plants, the perianth may be described as being either dichlamydeous/heterochlamydeous in which the calyx and corolla are clearly separate, or homochlamydeous, in which they are indistinguishable (and the sepals and petals are collectively referred to as tepals). When the perianth is in two whorls, it is described as biseriate. While the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Donald Wyman
Donald Wyman (1904 — 6 December 1993) was an American horticulturist, the head of horticulture at Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum from 1935 to 1970. He took a bachelor's degree in horticulture from Pennsylvania State College (1926) and a master's in forestry (1933), then a PhD in horticulture at Cornell University (1935). He joined the Arboretum in 1935 and served for six months without salary in the depths of the Great Depression before being named horticulturist in 1936. He was the author of many books, including ''Wyman's Gardening Encyclopedia'' (1971) and was a frequent contributor to the journal '' Arnoldia''. Wyman served as president, director, and trustee of the American Horticultural Society. At the Arnold Arboretum he departed from the original method of planting by botanical association, to mark vistas and turns with specimen trees, and was energetic in acquiring seeds of many species that he introduced to American horticulture. He retired in 1970. He received ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
