Jim,
this looks to be I. orientalis. Again, there is a bit of vairation and
the more waved forms are often considered hybrids with I. crocea or I.
monnieri, which are yellow spurias. To my eyes, yours looks like
orientalis, especially with the yellow mid-ribs on the stands and the
flower is essentially white with a yellow spot, rather than yellow. It
is tall, at about 120cm/50".
I have only few spurias left in my collection, due to their rather
large size, and found that, other than natural variation, there is
often a bit of hybridization going on and pure species are getting
harder to find. I often see hybrid swarms in old clumps at botanical
gardens, which have apparently seeded themselves over the decades.

lost the label for which I grew from species seed. I could guess, but
I thought I would ask some of those in this group that may have grown
this one as well.
