Iris kurbanovii was published as Iridodyctium kopetdaghensis Kurbanov. As there already exist juno iris I. kopetdaghense, with replacement under Iris the name was changed. Morphologically it is practically identical with Iridodictyum reticulata and only long distance from main populations allow to regard it as possible new species.
