The Colored Plate * 
The colored plate is made from the original watercolor draw- 
ings by Miss Louise B. Mansfield. On the upper half of the plate 
there are grouped the tips of the flower stalks of the two parental 
species, Iris fulva and J. foliosa, and the first generation plant, 
Dorothea KK. Williamson. On the lower half of the plate are 
shown the drawings of five seedlings from a selfed flower of 
Dorothea K. Williamson. These belong to the second generation 
of hybrids. 
The figures show the characteristic shape, color, and poise of 
the flowers. They are all reduced one-half in reproduction. The 
characteristic differences of the original parental species, the first 
generation plant, and the five second generation plants, are well 
— 
shown.
