Thanks for your photos.

I strongly disagree about Swertii as being I. pallida. Dykes called
it a a possible hybrid, as have several others. Some years ago I
crossed Kupari , a glaciata pallidia to I. variegata reginea. got
quite a few plicatas with papery sheaths. Two of seedling photos
attatched.
