The AIS 1939 Checklist notes: "William Bull, F.L.S., V.M.H. ( -1902), King's Road., Chelsea, London, England. Famous nursery, established 1861 and in existence up to 1917. William Bull received the Victoria Medal of Honour in 1887. Catalogues of 1870, 1881."
Although any one catalog may one have one or two Iris, his massive catalogs only listed newer introductions. He seemed to be one of the first to offer such plants as Iris tectorum.
