While older floras usually consider Iberis intermedia as a synonyme of Iberis linifolia described by LINNÉ, Flora Gallica which has been issued not until 2014 separates the two species. According to it Iberis linifolia has linear leaves with parallel edges and an umbellate seed head, while lanceolate leaves and a racemose and elongated seed head are the attributes of Iberis intermedia. Following that the shown plants would belong to Iberis intermedia.
