Chris, the pedigree of LOUVOIS is cited
in the 1949 *Check List* as "additional information" and is (Fetiche x Roi
Soleil) X (Iceberg x Evolution).
A photo of Evolution is included in the "Quick Fix"
list on the HIPS site, and comes from Ochracea Caerulea x Marsh
Marigold.
Ochracea Caerulea looks like a typical dipoid, but
Evolution is almost for certain tetraploid, judging by its
appearance.
The only way to be certain of LOUIVOIS' ploidy
status is to try its pollen on another tetraploid and vice versa. If you
get a pod with more than one or two seeds, you probably have a
tetraploid.
I have my copy of *Garden Irises* loaned out right
now, but there is a long list of cultivars that have been counted. I hope
Louivois is in that list. If anyone has a copy, perhaps it would be
helpful to check that part of the Appendix.
TWOI has a mention of Louvois on p. 82 that implies
it is a tetraploid.
