I am not really sure. Keith Keppel would be the final authority
on this. I just know that I had registered but not introduced an iris
several years ago and subsequently used it in a cross where one from the
cross was registered and introduced. In double checking his records Keith
noted that I had not ever introduced one parent in the cross. He
advised that I withdraw the name and use the seedling number and parentage
for the withdraw irises in recording the parentage of the iris I
introduced.
