As Robert Pries has correctly stated, "Zebra" is only an
unofficial or "garden' name often used for the iris you have
inquired about. Its registered name is PALLIDA VARIEGATA.  This
iris has creamy yellow variegation in the foliage and typical
light blue-violet pallida flowers. <<<

I thought 'Zebra'  was usually used to designate 'Iris pallida
aurea'. (The other striped Iris foliage pallida is 'Iris pallida
argentea'.) Is this incorrect?(yes, they are both garden names
not registered AIS names)
