A question from Mike Tucker -
Anyone out there growing this one?


Paeonia sp.nov. JCA 17180 Iran, Mazandaran, ENE of Firuzkuh  March

Grown from seed direct from JCA,  the description in Master list refers to cream anthers, glabrous carpels etc but also ‘hairless beneath’ -  my plant is is hairy beneath.

The 2016 taxonomic revision of Paeonia in Iran recognises just the 3 species ie mascula,tomentosa and wendlboi.

The description for tomentosa ? now includes leaves hairy on the undersides, carpels densly hairy or very rarely glabrous and  filaments yellow or violet.

Any views on this would be greatly appreciated.

601.600 : IRIS ZAGRICA (Subgen. Hermodactyloides) * Iran, Kordestan, SW of Daraki. 2500m. Loose, SW-facing limestone slope. (Previously listed as Iris aff. reticulata under our reference number 595.810, this has now been described as a new species, differing markedly from I. reticulata in the flower structure. This population, from the same slope on the Iraqi border as our mysterious Fritillaria collection 17255, carries its capsules on long, arching, wiry pedicels, in the previously unique manner of I. pamphylica but more or less erect rather than drooping. It superficially differs a little from the forms from the Kurdish steppes, now attributed to this new species, but so notably as to merit further separation. Foliage is typical of Iris reticulata and the flowers are bicoloured: ice-blue, almost white, & dark blue on the blade of the falls.

    Fritillaria aff. crassifolia. JCA 17255 (493.350) Iran, Kordestan - edit 24/11/17 from Laurence Hill:   "JJA17255 is an interesting collection. First it was without a name, now identified as Fritillaria kurdica but very variable." And from Robert Wallis :  ....."   this is a fascinating one. ...... It is about 30cm tall with up to 3 flowers per stem. About 10 % of the population has yellow flowers. Morphologically, F. kurdica is the closest species but it may merit another name once we know more about it."
