And aphylla, pumila, reichenbachii, suaveolens, cypriana, and others
including a number of aril species. Interestingly there is a famous
reblooming iris with some aril in its background---Lloyd Zurbrigg's EARL OF
ESSEX. All modern dominant amoenas have either reichenbachii or suaveolens
in their background (I say "either" because there is a question as to whether
the species Cook used to get PROGENITOR was reichenbachii or suaveolens).
