Uwe, sorry for my stupid question. You mean that when pch=factor , plot 
can recycle the factor and use it for subscripts or marks.

Then pch=as.integer(Species) results in c(1,2,3) for 3 factor levels. 
And I need symbols 15,16,17 and colors red, blue, green.

So then I do:
iris$Species->spec.symb
iris$Species->spec.col
levels(spec.symb)<-c(15,16,17)
levels(spec.col)<-c('red','green','blue')

That's the only way?
More of that!!! 'Plot' does not like factors in 'pch'. So it must be so:
plot(x~y,data, pch=as.integer(as.character(spec.symb))).
That's totally crazy...
