The IRG this month publishes the latest paper describing new Crocus species from Jānis Rukšāns.
We also have Dr Rukšāns' comments on the recent paper by Ingo Schneider on Crocus brachyfilus vis ŕ vis C. elegans in addition to Janis' reiteration of his decision to re-classify some of his earlier namings from subspecies to species status.
