Jim,
I don't know any diploid form of regular aphylla that originates from
Central or East Europe. But those plants that originate from Caucasus are
diploid. Sometimes those plants are described as Iris aphylla sometimes as
Iris furcata. European and Caucasian plants are hardly distinguishable
except stem of last ones never branch out at base.
