---++ Glossary of Iris Terms and Abbreviations (under construction) Note The botanical and horticultural jargon used in Iris is extensive and it takes two forms; 1.Terminology 2. Abbreviations of terms This glossary attenpts to provide an illustrated dictionary of this jargon. And you can click on either of the above sections to go directly to that information. ---++++ ABBREVIATIONS Standard abbreviations used historically in the printed AIS registrations when space was limited. Note in the Encyclopedia we no longer need to abbreviate and we are striving to eliminate abbreviations which can sometimes confuse, and whose meanings have sometimes changed through the years. but it will take a long time before they are all changed. Some classifications have been redefined through the years and the cultivars entries for irises before 1950 are being updated to the current definitions. <a name="OLE_LINK1" title="OLE_LINK1"></a>AB - [[Ab.WebHome][Arilbred]]<br />AM - [[InfoAwardsGardenAwardOfMerit][Award of Merit]]<br />AR - [[Ar.WebHome][Aril]]<br />BB - [[Bb.WebHome][Border Bearded]]<br />CA - [[Pcn.WebHome][Californicae]]<br />cal. - California Section<br />Chin. - Chinese Section<br />DB - [[InfoDwarfBeardedSection][Dwarf Bearded Section]] (1939 checklist)<br />E. - [[InfoBloomSeason][Early bloom season]]<br />EE. - [[InfoBloomSeason][Extra early bloom season]]<br />Ens.
