Iris Subg. Iris
Subgenus ''Iris'' is one subgenus of ''Iris''. ''Iris'' as a plant was originally named by Carl Linnaeus in his book Systema Naturae (in 1735), with a great number of species being added into the genus. Including new ones that were found after the book’s publication. The division of irises into varies subgroups, has taken various forms over the years. By the 19th century botanists had created new genera such as ''Evansia'', ''Hermodactylus'', ''Moraea'', ''Oncocyclus'', and ''Xiphion''. Opinion was often divided whether to split the genus into several parts or lump them back into Iris. From J. G. Baker, who separated some such as ''Moraea'' and ''Xiphion'' from Iris in his book 'Handbook of the Irideae' (published in London) in 1892. Then William R. Dykes, who clarified the situation by a compromise in his monograph ''The Genus Iris'' (by Cambridge University Press, 1913; later reprinted in 1974 by Dover). He was the first to term the subgroup as ''Iris sect. Iris''. G. Rodio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brian Mathew
Brian Frederick Mathew MBE, VMH is a British botanist, born in the village of Limpsfield, Surrey, England. His particular area of expertise is bulbous plants, particularly ornamental bulbous plants, although he has contributed to other fields of taxonomy and horticulture. He has authored or co-authored many books on bulbs and bulbous genera which appeal to both botanists and gardeners, as well as specialist monographs on other genera, including ''Daphne'' (with Chris Brickell), ''Lewisia'', and ''Helleborus''. His work has been recognized by the British Royal Horticultural Society and the International Bulb Society. Biography Brian Mathew was born in Limpsfield, a village in Surrey, England. His parents encouraged both Brian and his sister to look after small garden plots allocated to them.
