OK, I'll kick in my uninformed two bits before the knowledgeable pipe up. 

I am assuming here that the initial introdution into commerce simply did not 
get recorded as is the case with a few things in the 1949 Check List and thus 
we are not talking about something that the hybridizer held back deliberately 
that none the less got over the wall. Graves died in 1950.
 
I say it goes in the Horticultural class. Since it is and has been in 
commerce it  demonstrably has been introduced, so it cannot be said to be 
unintroduced. That the introduction did not get recorded or was not published 
by AIS does not mean that it did not occur. As the iris cannot meet the 
criteria for a seedling since it is demonstrably in commerce, it follows that 
it must fall into the other category, or that another category must be 
developed. 

Do AIS awards presuppose introduction? 

Maybe we could just get Clarence to declare an amnesty for the poor thing and 
those of its limbo clan.......
