From what I remember, my three cultivars of cengialtii also have lower and wider branching than "typical" I. pallida, but I will need to check photos or perhaps wait till the flower to verify this.  They are much smaller and more delicate, with thinner stems.  The foliage looks different too, but again I need to let them grow a bit more before I can really quantify the difference.  As I recall cengialtii is less "stiff" looking, and more "grass-like" with a richer green (but varies from clone to clone) coloring.  I seem to recall that at least 'Mostar' has some raised ridges on the leaf, somewhat as in I. variegata and I. aphylla, but not so pronounced, and this is never noticeable on more typical I. pallida.
