late purpureis, posticis lineari-oblongis pendulis. Capsula pollicaris. 
Semina parva, orbicularia, puberula. 
А very beautiful species, readily distinguished by the large flowers, 
short, spirally-incurved spur, long, deeply-conical, posticous sepal, and 
long capsules. It is very closely allied to I. arguta, H. f. & T., but 
differs in the almost invariably solitary flowers, and in the absence of the 
curious twisted bracteoles.
