A class of novelty irises with stripes or bands of white or yellow on the leaves are termed variegated. Sometimes the variegation is of a bright white, sometimes yellow. It is prefered if it is a consistent band on each leaf and not an irregular stripe here and there. Irises infected with virus may show small narrow streaks in the foliage that should not be confused with true variegation. We are attempting to develop a list below of Irises with this trait.
