We investigated Iris bulleyana, an alpine plant that has showy 22 tepals and abundant nectar in the Hengduan Mountains of SW China. In this region 23 flowers are visited mainly by pollen-collecting pollinators and nectarivorous herbivores. 24 We test the hypothesis that, in I. bulleyana, sacrificing nectar and nectaries to 25 herbivores protects tepals and thus enhances pollinator attraction. We compared rates 26 of pollination and herbivory on different floral tissues in plants with flowers protected 27 from nectar and nectary consumption with rates in unprotected control plants. We 28 found that nectar and nectaries suffered more herbivore damage than did tepals in 29 natural conditions.

    THE NEWSLETTER of THE SIBERIAN, SPURlA and JAPANESE .IRIS GROUP of the British Iris Society No. 6 January 1980 THE OBJECTS OF THE GROUP 1. Communication between members in Great Britain and Overseas. 2. A means of exchanging ideas, plants, seeds etc. 3. To assist beginners in growing Iris and to offer help with problems. 4. To report on Hybridisation. EDITORIAL . I am keeping my promise and including the talk given by Ray Jaffa to the Kent Group, also the article by Currier McEwen concerning 'The Small Ones'. I find them both very interesting indeed, and hope you all do too. This means that I. Laevigata will have 'pride of place' in the June Newsletter. I would however, like to thank Lady Hicks for her contribution. I have not seen I. Laevigata growing in 'Spring water', they must look very beautiful, and probably have a larger flower than those grown in ponds- The white one sounds magnificent, perhaps you could find the time to tell us more please. John Taylor who is at the present time writing a aeries of articles on the 'Iris' in Garden News, was kind enough to mention our Group, as a result of which we welcome Michael Peach to the 'fold', we hope he will find our Newsletters interesting and helpful. Now that Anne Blanco White has relinquished her post as Hon.

    British Iris Society 'Orinoco Flow'AGM, Cy Bartlett - Border Bearded Dykes Medal 1994 West & Midlands Iris Group A Retrospective: 1974-2007 'Dinky Dinah', Pat Foster - Arilbred Registered 1987 A RETROSPECTIVE Thirty-three Years of The West & Midlands Iris Group The idea for this publication first came from Peter Hewitt, the then Newsletter Editor, to celebrate twenty-five years of the Group. Unfortunately Peter died before he could continue. Nothing more was done until last year when I discovered his original notes and decided that his proposal should be completed and published in his memory, having first consulted Jennifer his wife and received her approval. Peter's original list of articles, which he considered of sufficient merit and interest to be reproduced, has been added to by Jennifer to bring it up to date, some twenty-four articles in total. All originally appeared in a Group Newsletter, as indicated, giving the Newsletter number and date of publication. I hope that you find them interesting and that they give you an insight into the activities of the Group since its formation in 1974. My thanks to Jennifer, for reading through seventy-odd Newsletters in order to make her choice and to Pam, my wife, for retyping them in a suitable format for reproduction. Glyn Roberts Newsletter Editor iii The West & Midlands Iris Group 33 YEARS AND COUNTING Seven people met on October 5th 1974 in Birmingham and, with promises of support from eleven more, agreed to form the West Midlands Group of the BIS. We would try to hold several meetings a year, visiting gardens, having talks and a plant sale.

T Issued February, 1929 PLANT MATERIAL INTRODUCED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PUNT INTRODUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30, 1926 (NOS. 66699 TO 67836) CONTENTS Pag* Introductory statement - 1< Inventory - 3 Index of common and scientific names— .-._. „. ,. — 49 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT agricultural explorers were carrying on their investigations in foreign lands during the three-month period represented by this eighty-seventh inventory. David Fairchild, in company with P. H. Dorsett, made an extended tour along the northern coast of Sumatra and also spent some time in Java and Ceylon. Their itinerary included the Sibolangit Botanic Garden, near Medan, Sumatra, and the Hakgala Botanic Garden, Newara Eliya, Ceylon. The material collected came from these botanic gardens, from the markets of the native villages visited, and from the wild. It consisted for the most part of fruit-bearing plants, ornamentals, and leguminous plants of possible value as cover crops for the warmer parts of the United States. Breeders of small fruits will be interested in the numerous species of Rubus (Nos. 67592 to 67604; 67728 to 67740) obtained mostly in Sumatra. Sev- eral species of Ficus (Nos. 67557 to 67570; 67696 to 67705) from Sumatra will be tested in southern Florida, where already a number of these wild figs have proved popular as shade trees. F. A. McClure continued to work in the general vicinity of Can- ton, China, collecting plant material largely from the native markets of the neighboring villages.

  • Dykes on Irises
    DYKES ON IRISES A Reprint of the contributions of the late W. R. Dykes, L-es-L., to various journals and periodicals during the last 20 years of his life FOREWORD TO THIS EDITION In the 1920s George Dillistone diligently compiled articles written by William Rickatson Dykes during the last 20 years of his life and these were published by the then Iris Society, later to become the British Iris Society. These articles are now out of copyright and are reprinted here for all to freely enjoy. Some of the names and thoughts are now dated, but surprisingly much of the detail still makes very interesting reading and the enthusiasm has not diminished despite the gulf of a large number of years. I personally have found it very rewarding to have read the articles whilst transferring them to a modern medium. Some of the syntax is now outdated, but has been left due to time pressure and it does not detract from the content. The names of some species have been changed over the years and the reader needs to be wary of this, e.g. I. orientalis is now I. sanguinea, but anyone with more than a passing acquaintance with irises is unlikely to be baffled for long. I hope you enjoy reading the articles, Alun Whitehead Contents Page 1 Foreword to this part edition ...............................................................2 2 Contents ................................................................................................3 3 Irises......................................................................................................6 4 Irises for

    Big Snow Mountain to the Balang Shan An Alpine Garden Society Tour A Greentours Itinerary Days 1 & 2 To Tengchong Day 3 Tenchong Around Tengchong we’ll be visiting one of the favoured haunts of that most determined of plant hunters, George Forrest, where he collected many species of rhododendrons notably Rhododendron glischrum with huge trusses of pink flowers and pale pink Rhododendron yunnanense. There is an impressive range of Cobra Lilies including Arisaemas wilsonii and Arisaema concinnum. The woods also hold many Primulas with the delicate red-pink umbels of Primula heucherifolia, and the white-centred pink blooms of Primula moupinense and Primula sonchifolia, amongst the prizes. We’ll hope to see the lovely yellow purple-tessellated bells of Fritillaria davidii. Days 4 & 5 Gaoligongshan and to Dali We’ll gain see a rich diversity of Rhododendrons, notably Rhododendron sinogrande beset with pale cream flowers and extraordinary huge paddle- shaped leaves. Other highlights are likely to include Primula prolifera and Primula wilsonii. This is a good area for Cobra Lilies with species such as Arisaema speciosum and Arisaema handelii present. We should come across Paris species too as well as Roscoea wardii and the distinctive Curcuma aromatica. The Gaoligongshan is fantastically lush – the woodlands are home to many orchids including Pleione bulbocodoides, Pleione yunnanensis and Pleione aurita, Day 6 Cangshan Stunning scarlet Rhododendron neriiflorum, big leaved Rhododendron lacteum, and showy white Rhododendron pachypodium are just some of the Rhododendrons we’ll see on the Cang Shan. There will also be a range of Primula species and Arisaemas and maybe also Paris daliense.
