Hi Polly,
I have not heard of "Variegata" with A capital "V" or Silverstripe either.I
don't have time right now to research what is in the Wiki.

Thank you Dorothy,
But on the iris wiki, Variegata is listed as a
cultivar of I ensata, as is Silverband, and Silverstripe, which I never heard
of. In my irises book by Clair Austin Variegata is with a capitol V. So, I
assumed it was a cultivar also.
