A major happening this past year was Or . James Waddick's successful trip to China to collect the native irises of that coun try. A detailed accounting of his trip is published in this issue . SIGNA was pleased to be one of the sponsors of Dr . Waddick's trip , and in addition to a modest financial contribution , supplied books on iris as well as seed of North American iris species for giving to his Chinese friends . We sincerely hope that this venture is the beginning of an ongoing exchange of information, seed and/or iris plants between our two countries . Or . Waddick will also give a slide showing of his trip at the SIGNA Sectional meeting at the AIS National Convention at Omaha next spring . We hope you can attend. Gene Opton asked to be relieved as treasurer of SIGNA and Bob Pries has now taken over that job. Gene served for eight years in that position and we sent a special thank you for a job well done. A project that has been in the works for some time is something we loosely term as "Roy's Handbook." This is in celebration of SIGNA's 20-plus years as a section of AIS. The handbook will have some new material, a recap of some of the better articles published in t he early issues of SIGNA, black and white illustrations, and, hopefully, some iris reproductions in color. Bruce Richardson has written a history of t he early years of SIGNA, some of the illustrations will be by Jean Witt, and Roy Davidson will edit the whole t hing. We hope it will be ready for distribution to our membership sometime next year. We haven't given up the idea of 'iris preservation' although response to this has not been great . Perhaps we hav e given a wrong impression as to what we have in mind. Alan McMurtrie has done a wonderful job of compiling a source list of the bulbous iris species and we feel a need for a simi lar· source reference listing for the other species and their hybrids. We get inquiries all the time from people asking "Where can I get so and so?" or "Is such and such still available?" Compiling such a source reference list is a big job, a job with several people working together, but we think it can and should be done . We welcome your ideas and comments on how this can be accomplished. Just knowing that a species or species hybrid is being grown is in itself iris preservation. Colin Rigby ************ 1542 A REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY A cheery hello from Lombard, Illinois! Last week it was snowing but this week it ' s balmy, shirt-sleeve weather. How is it in your corner of the world? ~~ more earthquakes, or Hugos, I hope. Last year SIGNA boasted 643 members, with many new members hanging on from the tempo rary pull of Horticulture magazine (Opton's article on Californicae species was irresistible.) This year we leveled off to a more realistic number; we now have 13 paid LIFE members, and many who are paid ahead as triennial members making a total of 595. Several members have been lost through death, see memorials el sewhere , some have admitted to getting to the no gardening stage of life and after years of service they deserve mentioning. (Please do, Florence. ED) There are three dozen or so new members this year, and we all want to stretch out a welcoming hand. Let us know your problems, as well as your successes. It's by working together that progress is made. (It I s more fun, too.) I have included a 1 i st of our newest members. If you find there is someone in your region, why not make a special effort to help that one? Incidentally, is your RVP a member of SIGNA? He should be! Maybe you could · sponsor him (or her) for the first year. Are your regiona 1 judges aware of SIGNA? We now have nice brochures you can pick up at the convention (or write me). They explain what SIGNA is all about and have a place for membership application. For everyone: On your label this time your exprration date is in the lower r i ght corner. The first two numbers are t he year, and the last two, either 01 or 07 mean January or mid-year. If you are de linquent, t here wi 11 be a red dot to call your attention to this fact. (I'd like to give all subscriptions free, but I can't.) So assume respons ibility for getting your dues in on time and save the society the cost of postal reminders. Another reminder, if you are moving, please let us know before we mail out issues to your old address and then have to pay to get them back and pay again to re-address . A postcard to me is all it takes and the post office furnishes them! Thanks for helping your society work smoothly.

  • Karyological Studies on Iris Japonica Thunb. and Its Allies1) 2) by K
    180 Cytologia 10 Karyological Studies on Iris japonica Thunb. and Its Allies1) 2) By K. Yasui Tokyo Imperial University (With 8 text figures) Receic ed MTV 28, 1939 Introduction There are several karyological investigations on Iris japonica. KAZAO (1928) considered the sporophyte of this species as an auto triploid having 54 chromosomes. But SIMONET (1932, 1934) re ported I. japonica as a diploid plant with 34 chromosomes in its root-tip cells, and considered I. japonica var aphrodite as a hyper triploid and interpreted the chromosome constitution as 2n=51+3, the latter 3 chromosomes being considered as derived from 3 of 51 chromosomes in I. japonica by fragmentation which occurred att their median constrictions. The karyological investigation in I. japonica and the other 2 allied species, which were kindly put at my deposal by Dr. S. IMA MURA of Kyoto Imp. University, gave me some results different from those of the previous authors as is described below. Material and Method In the fixing of the root-tip cells both NAVASHIN's and LEWITSKY's solutions were used. When fixed in the latter, the chromosomes were found longer and slender than when fixed in the former solution, but there was no essential difference in the distribu tion of chromosomes in the equatorial plate. NEWTON'S gentian violet staining was generally adopted. Materials for the study of meiosis were fixed mostly with NAVASHIN'S fluid and stained with HEIDENHAIN'S iron-alum haematoxylin. Acetocarmine smears were also tried in the study of the pollen mother cells. Drawings were made with a camera lucida.

  • Establishment of an Efficient in Vitro Propagation System for Iris Sanguinea
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Establishment of an efcient in vitro propagation system for Iris sanguinea Received: 13 June 2018 Ling Wang1, Yu Du1, Md. Mahbubur Rahman2, Biao Tang1, Li-Juan Fan1 & Aruna Kilaru 2 Accepted: 2 November 2018 Iris sanguinea is a perennial fowering plant that is typically cultivated through seeds or bulbs. However, Published: xx xx xxxx due to limitations in conventional propagation, an alternate regeneration system using seeds was developed. The protocol included optimization of sterilization, stratifcation and scarifcation methods as iris seeds exhibit physiological dormancy. In addition to chlorine-based disinfection, alkaline or heat treatment was used to break seed dormancy and reduce contamination. When seeds were soaked in water at 80 °C overnight, and sterilized with 75% EtOH for 30 s and 4% NaOCl solution for 20 minutes, contamination was reduced to 10% and a 73.3% germination was achieved. The germinated seedlings with 2-3 leaves and radicle were used as explants to induce adventitious buds. The optimal MS medium with 0.5 mg L−1 6-benzylaminopurine, 0.2 mg L−1 NAA, and 1.0 mg L−1 kinetin resulted in 93.3% shoot induction and a proliferation coefcient of 5.30. Medium with 0.5 mg L−1 NAA achieved 96.4% rooting of the adventitious shoots. The survival rate was more than 90% after 30 days growth in the cultivated matrix. In conclusion, a successful regeneration system for propagation of I. sanguinea was developed using seeds, which could be utilized for large-scale propagation of irises of ecological and horticultural importance.

The yellow coloured mous and non-diclinous species, respectively. The visual anthers and pollen and the similarly coloured flower guides similarity between the androecium and other floral organs are described as key features of a pollen and stamen is attributed to mimicry, i.e. deception caused by the flower mimicry system. In this study, we investigated the entire visitor’s inability to discriminate between model and angiosperm flora of the Alps with regard to visually dis- mimic, sensory exploitation, and signal standardisation played pollen and floral guides. All species were checked among floral morphs, flowering phases, and co-flowering for the presence of pollen- and stamen-imitating structures species. We critically discuss deviant pollen and stamen using colour photographs. Most flowering plants of the mimicry concepts and evaluate the frequent evolution of Alps display yellow pollen and at least 28% of the species pollen-imitating structures in view of the conflicting use of display pollen- or stamen-imitating structures. The most pollen for pollination in flowering plants and provision of frequent types of pollen and stamen imitations were pollen for offspring in bees.

  • Iris Sibirica and Others Iris Albicans Known As Cemetery
    Iris Sibirica and others Iris Albicans Known as Cemetery Iris as is planted on Muslim cemeteries. Two different species use this name; the commoner is just a white form of Iris germanica, widespread in the Mediterranean. This is widely available in the horticultural trade under the name of albicans, but it is not true to name. True Iris albicans which we are offering here occurs only in Arabia and Yemen. It is some 60cm tall, with greyish leaves and one to three, strongly and sweetly scented, 9cm flowers. The petals are pure, bone- white. The bracts are pale green. (The commoner interloper is found across the Mediterranean basin and is not entitled to the name, which continues in use however. The wrongly named albicans, has brown, papery bracts, and off-white flowers). Our stock was first found near Sana’a, Yemen and is thriving here, outside, in a sunny, raised bed. Iris Sibirica and others Iris chrysographes Black Form Clumps of narrow, iris-like foliage. Tall sprays of darkest violet to almost black velvety flowers, Jun-Sept. Ht 40cm. Moist, well drained soil.
