Sours Arrica. Transvaal: on a hill-side at Reimers Creek, 
Barberton, 1050 m., Nov. 1920, G. Thorneroft 1086. 
flowers are stated to be pale blue. This species is readily 
distinguished from I. enneaspermum, Vent., which it somewhat 
resembles, by its creeping perennial rhizome, pubescent stems 
and longer pedicels. The seeds are immature, but appear to 
be smooth and quite destitute of the ribs seen on those of 
I. enneaspermum.
