ANDROMACHE

(C. G. Van Tubergen, 1915).  The Court of Iris catalog described it as "Silver bloom with dotting and veining of wine-red. Signal." I. korolkowii X I. barnumae subsp. mariae. mariae.  

 

In the following pedigrees, links to Andromache are shown in red. This is one of the more extensive lists because I have long been interested in tracing the migration of genes from specific aril species into the gene pool of modern arilbreds.

Descendants of Andromache that are also diploid RCs are shown with the pinkish-lavender background used above for Andromache itself. 

Descendants of Andromache that are tetraploid RCs are shown with a bluish-lavender background.

Descendants of Andromache that are fully fertile halfbreds are shown with a green background.
