 cultural varieties of Iris the hort. var. 

 list and the common-name list have been 

 combined in the special list following. 



Iris Iris 



State.ment of the American 

 Joint Committee 



The Iris List, edited by John C. Wister, 

 was distributed in 1922 by the Ameri- 

 can Iris Society as Bulletin No. 4, in 

 advance of the pubhcation of Standard- 

 ized Plant Names. 



In that Bulletin the Iris names were 

 separated into the groups or sections, 

 with no less than twelve separate 

 alphabetical lists. To the specialist or 

 Iris devotee, this arrangement has 

 obvious advantages. But it is a de- 

 parture from the simple general rule 

 established by the Joint Committee for 

 Standardized Plant Names, namely, that 

 each name hst should be arranged in 

 one alphabetical series. f>>Any other 

 arrangement for even a single hst would
