 must be a member of the Genus Iris in the botanical sense while the other
 parent need not be. I think this interpretation of the word "iris" is
 consistent with its use throughout the Judges' Handbook. >>

Well, I think in the context of an AIS publication the Genus should be 
assumed, but in my not-very-learned opinion that language is not adequately 
precise, and one would support greater precision on that substantial point 
since it speaks to the essence of the question at hand.
