The wiki link Chuck posted says (in part)
<Iris pumila L. probably originated as a natural hybrid between Iris pseudopumila Boissier & Heldreich and I. attica Tineo. >

& TWOI sez pumila is 32, pseudopumila and attica are 16.

So "all" we need is a triploid pseudopumila or attica carrying the spot pattern, crossed with a diploid TB, then that diploid TB crossed with a modern tetraploid to move the spot pattern to TBs.

Would backcrossing psuedopumila or attica onto pumila give triploids (n=24), or even an occasional doubly unreduced 48?

This is a lot more fun than cleaning house...
