Covering Cultivars Registered
From 1800 Through 2008

FORWARD
In this illustrated edition we have continued entering photographs of registered and
introduced aril and arilbred irises. There are Appendices at the end of the Alphabetical
Section, illustrating a few aberrant cultivars appearing in the pedigree of some of the irises
in the checklist that are difficult to find elsewhere. These irises were either not registered or
registration became obsolete but were introduced at one time or another. For the purpose
of this checklist, registered cultivars are listed in capital letters, e.g. ALADDIN’S GEM; any
unregistered names are listed in lower case, e.g., Vera. Garden names are listed in
quotation marks, e.g. ‘Dirty Dora’. For ease of finding names in the main alphabetical
section of the list and the main cross itself, entries are set in bold characters, e.g.:
ALADDIN’S GEM: (AR8701: … X Brownett). We hope this will make it easier to decipher
some of the long and complicated pedigrees which exist in some cultivars.
Because of the ongoing nature of adding or rotating photos in this project, it is far from
definitive. We hope to eventually have as complete a representation of the registered and
introduced irises with the best photos possible matching the registered description.
Photos to be submitted can be scanned and sent in by e-mail, or if there is an inordinate
amount, they can be be transferred onto a CD disc and mailed to the editor. For aril
species photos, you are referred to Bob Pries, e-mail address: rpries@sbcglobal.net or by
postal mail, check the Membership List.
We would like to thank all of those who have already sent photos, digital or otherwise.
Their names can be found under Acknowledgments. Without these photos, there would be
no illustrated checklist. We try to obtain permission to use these photos. If there is a
problem, please contact us and we will remove them. The checklist is updated when
sufficient new or improved photos come along. Please send them to us either by e-mail:
arilpums@comcast.net or by postal address, see Membership List.
If any errors or omissions are found please contact us. Thank you.

Several different classification systems have been used in the past. In this version of the
checklist, every attempt has been made to assign a modern, appropriate classification
code to each cultivar.
Our solution has been to include in the main list only those arilbreds that qualify under the
quantum system: i.e., those having one-quarter or more aril complement. Varieties with
less than one-quarter aril complement which were once considered arilbreds but no longer
qualify are placed in an appendix. Also placed in an appendix are irises not registered as
arilbreds but may contain one quarter aril complement.

CLASSIFICATION TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
FOR ARIL IRISES
In 1995, the Aril Society passed a resolution adopting the classification system described
by Brian Mathew in The Iris, which was published in 1981 and revised in 1989. This
resolution also defines aril species as those in the oncocyclus and regelia sections of the
Subgenus Iris, Genus Iris. Aril irises include not only these individual species and their
hybrids, but also any advanced-generation descendant that has only aril ancestry.
ONCOCYCLUS SPECIES
O
Members of the oncocyclus section of bearded irises are characterized by one bloom to
the stem. This includes selected clones that have been registered or introduced as named
varieties; e.g., I. susiana, I. gatesii, I. paradoxa, and Real Ebony (selected clone of I.
nigricans).
ONCOCYCLUS HYBRID
OH
A hybrid involving only oncocyclus, which may result from a cross involving oncocyclus
species, oncocyclus hybrids, or both; e.g., Ravid and Galilee Prince.
REGELIA SPECIES
R
Members of the regelia section of bearded irises are characterized by normally producing
as many as two blooms to the stalk. This includes selected clones that have been
registered or introduced as named varieties; e.g., I. korolkowii, I. stolonifera, I. hoogiana,
and Decorated Giant (selected clone of I. stolonifera).
REGELIA HYBRID
RH
A hybrid involving only regelia, which results from a cross involving regelia species, regelia
hybrids or both.
iii
REGELIOCYCLUS
RC
A hybrid involving regelia and oncocyclus, predominately regelia in phenotype, typically
resulting from a cross between:
1.
a regelia species or regelia hybrid and an oncocyclus species or oncocyclus
hybrid;
2.
a regeliocyclus and a regelia species or a regelia hybrid;
3.
two regeliocycli;
4.
an oncogelia and a regelia species or a regelia hybrid.
For example: Andromache and Dunshanbe
ONCOGELIA
OG
A hybrid involving oncocyclus and regelia, predominately oncocyclus in phenotype,
resulting from a cross between:
1.
an oncocyclus or oncocyclus hybrid and a regeliocyclus;
2.
two oncogelias;
3.
an oncogelia and an oncocyclus species or oncocyclus hybrid.
For example: Purple Sequin, Judean Magic, and Moon Over Shiraz
CLASSIFICATION TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS
FOR ARILBRED IRISES
Arilbred irises are defined by the resolution adopted in 1995 as hybrid irises combining
genetic characteristics of the aril irises and the eupogon irises. To be recognized as an
arilbred and be eligible for awards by the Aril Society International, an iris must meet two
separate criteria:
1. Arilbreds must contain one-quarter or more aril complement. This is determined
according to the chromosome set system that was adopted in 1990 for defining aril
content. The classification code (list and chart below) indicates not only what type
of ancestry is involved but also the approximate amount.
Arilbreds are divided into three sub-classes: oncogeliabred, oncobred, and
regeliabred. Irises in each of these sub-classes are further divided by aril
chromosome complement. The majority of modern arilbreds are oncogeliabreds.
ONCOGELIABRED
OGB, OGB+, OGBA hybrid containing any combination of oncocyclus and regelia and other eupogon
irises; e.g., Oyez and Persian Padishah.
iv
ONCOBRED
OB, OB+, OBA hybrid containing both, and only, oncocyclus and eupogon irises; e.g., Opals for
Ethel, Jeweled Veil and Prairie Thunder.
REGELIABRED
RB, RB+, RBA hybrid containing both, and only, regelia and eupogon irises; e.g., Miss Martha
and Genetic Artist.
2. Arilbreds must exhibit at least two aril flower characteristics. The recognizable aril
flower characteristics include:
Regelia Type
1.
Elongated standards or falls as in I. korolkowii.
2.
Linear beards and beards on standards as well as the falls.
3.
Conspicuous veining.
4. A prominent V-shaped spot in contrasting color
v
Onco Type
5. Broadly domed and reflexed standards as in I. gatesii.
6. Ruffled and reflexed standards as in I. lortetii.
7. Accentuated globular form as in I. susiana.
8. Extremely broad falls.
9. Well recurved falls.
10. Thick, heavy, or broadly diffuse beards as in I. susiana or I. gatesii.
11. Exaggerated styles as in I. bismarckiana and I. iberica.
12. A definable signal spot at the end of the beard.
13. Flaring and lanceolate falls as in I. acutiloba.
14. Narrow and flaring falls as in I. paradoxa.
15. Linear beards as in I. meda and beards on standards as well as the falls.
OTHER ABBREVIATIONS
BRS For cultivars introduced Before the Registration System was established.
DIS Disenrolled Cultivars. Those which qualified as arils or arilbreds under an earlier
system but do not meet today’s standards.
IN
Ineligible Cultivars. Those that have never been elibible for awards as arils or
arilbreds, usually because they were registered in another category, but which have
enough aril ancestry to be of interest to hybridizers.
NR
For cultivars introduced after the system was in place but Not Registered.

UNOFFICIAL ABBREVIATIONS USED TO ASSIST NEW MEMBERS
IN THEIR BREEDING EFFORTS
In July 1997, Tom Tadfor Little produced an essay titled A Checklist of Arilbred Dwarf
and Medians through 1996. In this essay, he illustrated a table of his abbreviations to
help readers to understand them and somewhat interpret them. In this edition of the Aril
Checklist, an excerpt of these explanations are listed below to further help new
members who are not familiar with these expressions: (ABD = arilbred dwarf); ABM =
arilbred median); A = aril; P = pumila; T = mostly tall bearded but can include any 48 chr
non-aril tetraploid).
ARIL SPECIES AND VARIANTS
The following listing is a compilation of aril species and variants (forms) that have
appeared in literature during the last 100 years.
Although reasonably comprehensive, the list is not complete. Many that have been
designated as "species" by some authorities have been referenced as "varieties" by
others. Some names are synonymous, some purely erroneous, and some are simply
misspellings and alterations. A great deal of work needs to be done to clarify the species
designations. For further information on aril species, please consult the Species Iris Group
of North America SIGNA Checklist or Robert Pries, e-mail address: rpries@sbcglobal.net

CHROMOSOME COUNTS
Elm Jensen searched the iris literature to compile a list of arils and arilbreds for which
we have chromosome counts.
Note: In some instances, there were conflicting counts by two persons, so both counts are
listed. Where there were counts by three persons, and two of the three concurred, just one
count was used.
Oncocyclus species: All are 20 chromosomes.
