Gladiolus identity question

Hi List,

I have a plant in flower which was sold to me as Gladiolus elliotii but
now I'm unsure if that is the accepted G. elliotii Baker or rather
Gladiolus sericeovillosus subspecies calvatus which is the accepted name
for what has been described as G. elliotii Lewis  - I'd love to add it
to the wiki, both are not present yet, but I want to be sure what I
have. I'm quite sure it is not G. sericeovillosus subsp.
sericeovillosus, which would be hairy . All I can argument on are the
descriptions at Flora Zambesiaca:

I've attached Images - to me, that's cream with maroon dots, so it seems
G. s. subsp. calvatus to me. Is there any expert on those around?
