One of the Western states has I. xgermanica L on its invasives list. That's right, Granny's sterile blue flag, taking over the North American continent, one creeping rhizome at a time. Cracks me up. Of course, as a person with some Native American blood I do see the wisdom of a draconian approach to these things.
The thing is, what I remember about the notice on the SIGNA page about no pseudacorus is the statement that only seed of named clones, by which I understood to mean registered cultivars, was wanted, not because of habitat issues, but because the type was already ubiquitous.

I have been hybridizing Pseudacorous for a number of years and I will be introducing some in the near future, perhaps even this year.
Included in these are a tetraploid that has flower about 7" across, and a white with outstanding bud count and branching. numerous seedlings of various colours, and doubles.
Would these seeds be welcome or not?
I was going to send some, but got behind.

The wild Pseudacorus plants are on the invasive list in many states...However the named cultivars and the Pseu crosses like Roy Davidson, Etc. are not included in any ban.

I noticed that along with listings for pseudacorus in the seed exchange is a late listing for x pseudata ex 'Chance Beauty'.
I was under the impression that pseudacorus or pseud crosses weren't going to be welcomed any longer so have been either giving away seeds from 'Chance Beauty', 'Shape Shifter', and the named white pseudacorus I have. Am I mistaken?
