VIIT, i.e. July-August (Veldkamp, pers. comm.).

This slender, unitubulose-leaved species is apparently restricted to the Russian Far 
East. Its capsule usually only shortly exceeds the tepals (occasionally much exceeding 
them), and is relatively short and broad as in /. articulatus, J. wallichianus and /. krameri 
(q.v.). Its tepals are shorter than in the more robust /. wallichianus, while its capsule is 
not red-brown as in the introduced J. articulatus, and the inflorescence has longer 
branches and is therefore less clustered than in J. krameri.
