Yes you are both right. Wrap your mind around the fact that in different years the line was drawn lower or higher. That means that the Dwarf(MDB) Iris Checklist contains plant that fell under different rules and likewise the Median(SDBs) Checklist contains Iris in this disputed range also but they will only appear in one of the lists depending on when they were registered and whether the hybridizer changed the registration. Life is never simple especially when man is making the rules.
