Juno (lridaceae). This genus has been separated from Iris, and this separation is adopted here. Germination can extend over periods as long as 4 y and probably more. Treatment with GA-3 has not as yet initiated germination. J. aucheri germ. 70-40(1/12)-70-40(3/12)-70-40-70(1/12) and 40-70(2/12)-40- 70-40-70-40(1/12). After eight more cycles the seed remained firm and alive. One seed germ. after 4 y and another after 6 y. Both were healthy, IDS m at 70 germ. 70-40(1/9)-70-40(1/9)-70(1/9) and 40-70-40(1/9)-70-40(1/9). Seed DS 6 m at 40 germ. 70-40-70-40-70(2/15)-40-70(8/15)-40-70-40-70(4/15). There seems to be no pattern or T preference to these extended germinations.
