Dennis,
Yes the seeds have an aril. (So does another beardless iris, I . ruthenica.)
I don't think that alone is enough to say they are related. There are lots
of other differences, like preferred habitat. Still, I. verna is a loner
and it's place in the iris family is uncertain.
Happy Holidays to all!
Rodney
