Hi Lorraine,

#1  A median is any iris belonging to one of the four middle height classes 
of bearded irises, i.e. Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB)- 8-16 inches, earliest 
to bloom;  Intermediate Bearded (IB) - 16-27.5 inches, blooms halfway between 
SDB and TB; Border Bearded (BB) - 16-27.5 inches, blooms with TB; Miniature 
Tall Bearded (MTB) - 16-27.5 inches acceptable, but 16-25 inches preferred, 
blooms with TB irises.

Preceding the Medians in bloom are the Miniature Dwarf Bearded (MDB) which 
are 8 inches or less.  Blooming with the later Medians are the Tall Bearded 
(TB) which are 28 or more inches tall.

#2  As far as I know, PCI and PCN are just two forms of abbreviations for 
Pacific Coast Native Irises.
