Mike,
I am familiar with Cym giganteum (syn. iridiodes) (note the small "g" and "i" used for all species nomenclature) but not a var. Lowii. What is the provenance of your plant? ie, where did you get it and from whom? Someone may have put a clonal name of "Lowii" on it but I know of no official varietal designation, with the possible exception of "Album" that could be applied to this species. At this time, I know of no accepted album designation either.
In order to have an accepted varietal designation placed on a species, it should vary from the accepted norm of the species. ie. size, stable variation in color, markings etc. but it still needs to meet the basic criteria of the species.
As a start, google Cym giganteum and see what you come up with. Then we can go from there.
Good Luck and have fun searching,
CL
