  From the information I have been able to gather, the diffence is that N.gracilis has long 'gracile' pedicels -- more than twice the length of the spathes from which they emerge.  The result is that the inflorescence appears lax, whereas that of N.northiana appears crowded.  On the wikiI I have included a digram I received from Mario Peixto, which came originaly from the doctoral thesis of Lindolpbo Capellari Júnior (Taxonomical Revision of the Genus Neomarica Sprague)  (I can refer you to the original document -- in Portuguese, or a key to species, also in Portuguese, or a key from a French Irid society -- in French.)
  (Just below it, if you are interested. are photos of the flowers, but not of the plant's habit, of my N. northiana.)

David,
What are the differences between the Neomarica G. and Neomarica N.? I am growing what I believe to be the gracilis, but I would like to be sure.
Patty
