Hi David, Tritonia dubia. Distribution: Eastern Cape Province, (Port Elizabeth and Uitenhage Districts) of South Africa. Morphologically the species links Tritonia and Ixia. This is the only species of Tritonia with wholly actinomorphic flowers. It has the flower coloring typical of a Tritonias, salmon pink or orange pink with dark veins. Flowers: a widely cup-shaped and later almost salver shaped perianth, and erect, centrally placed stamens and style. Bracts to 10 mm long (no color mentioned.) Leaves are 5 to 8, suberect or spreading, lanceolate-ensiform 100-160 x 3-8 mm. Capsules are elongated ellipsoid, more or less 25 mm. long. Flowers July to September. There is a figure in the Flora of Southern Africa, Ixioideae. Perhaps I can get Bob to scan it for me and send it to you privately. Ixia pumilio is described as old rose with conspicuous darker median veins. It is known only from its type locality, the banks of Breed River south of Worcester where it grows in deep sand. It flowers late August to September. Leaves are 3 or 4, linear, 2 to 5 mm. wide, loosely twisted, bracts opaque, light brown with dark veins. There is a figure of it in Goldblatt, P. & Snijman, D. 1985. New species and notes on the southern African genus Ixia L. (Iridaceae). South African Journal of Botany 51: 66-70. This is not a reference I have a copy of. Since there are no pictures or drawings in any of my books of Ixia pumilio, I can't compare the two visually, but the Ixia monograph says it is closely allied to Ixia latifolia, mostly differing in its flower color. Here is Bill Richardson's description of it. http://suite101.com/article.cfm/bulbs_and_plants/… And Dash's picture: http://mainlyamaryllidsgarden.com/winternotes.php I've struggled over this one a lot and the pictures of both on the Internet are very similar. I have decided that my plants were really Tritonia dubia. And since one of the ways to tell Ixias from Tritonias is that Ixias are actinomorphic and Tritionias zygomorophic, but T. dubia is the former, it makes it even more difficult. T. dubia does not have sclerenchyma strands in the leaf margins which is a characteristic of Ixias. I have no idea what that means, but if you do perhaps that will help. Your description of the size of the leaves and the color of the bracts may be helpful. Alberto's description of how to tell the two genera apart (Ixias grouped on the end of the stem and Tritionia more spread along the stem) may be helpful too, but a few Ixias I have seen and grown are also spread along the stem. Stamens are described as symmetrically disposed in Ixia and irregularly disposed, often curved towards upper lobe in Tritonia, but it isn't clear in the description of T. dubia that this is true for this species (centrally placed stamens and style). I hope this has helped. Mary Sue
