Ilona sent me a couple photos of the iris. I have to take back my assessment based on the seeds, the plants and flowers look like Iris tectorum, including crests and not beards.

SIGNA 15CR027 is described as "tectorum ? ex Chen Yi, came as goniocarpa
var grossa". I don't believe the seed is Iris tectorum. I'm attaching a
photo of one of these seeds on the left and an Iris tectorum seed on the
right (scale in mm). The 15CR027 seed has a small white aril around the
point of attachment to the pod. Iris tectorum does not have this. The
aril is consistent with a pseudoregelia, such as Iris goniocarpa, but it
could be any of several other iris with small arils.

These seeds were donated by Kalásziné D. Ilona, Budapest, HUNGARY. I
found some of her iris photos on-line but none for this plant. With luck
I can get one or more seeds to sprout and maybe tackle the mystery.
