Looks like classic setosa. You can have branching on a lot of them. Particularly the hybrids of arctic and arctic interior with other forms, such as the canadesis form. I'm still of opinion that the canadeis is a subspecies and not a separate species. I once had a seedling of 2nd generation cross that was 3 ft tall with all sorts of branching
My setosa 'Northern Valentine' has good branching.

I agree. On the I. tridentata blooms I've seen, the style arms have been tight against the falls. On the flower in the photo, yellow and purple combine to created brownish hafts on the falls. That is common on I. setosa but I have not seen it on I. tridentata. I'd say that I. setosa is more inclined to branch than I. tridentata, although that may depend on the particular form of I. setosa.

I would say setosa. The veining pattern, signal shape and style arms don't look like tridentata to me. Tridentata has that weird pattern of a bunch of fine veins running parallel and not branching much.

Hi all,
A SIGNA member asked me to ID this. It looks like setosa to me but I wasn't sure about the apparent branching.
