The Oxford English Dictionary states that a 'cultivar is a variety produced by cultivation'.

..The way I understand it..".Odoratissima"would be a variety of I. Pallida( naturally occuring, and different in small details from other varieties of I. Pallida), while "Immortality", for example ,is a Cultivar, produced by combining(hybridizing), 2 or more different varieties, OR cultivars. At least I think that's the way it is! The latin species and variety names get me all befuddled!...Arlyn
Thanks all... I'm gettin' it (I hope!). It has been below freezing for over a week here, rare for us as it's usually in the 40's. I hope it's killing all the iris fungus and flea eggs and not my potted plants 😿
I use the term 'variant' to describe noid versions of a basic variety. I have several variants of what I would call 'germanica' due to similar flower and plant structure. The variations being in the colors of the standards, falls, and beards. We amateurs probably drive the experts up the wall with our jargon.
