the best judge for I.furcata I think is dr. Rodijonenko (Russia). In
his book he report (hope it will be helpful for you) that from
I.aphylla it differs:
1. less wide 8-10(15), but more upright leaves;
2. thin and graceful flowerstalk, which have branches not from base,
but from higher than middle of stalk;
3. flowers are less in mesurements, but of more intensive coloring of
violet-red tones;
4. the seed pod 3-4cm long with some flattened top;
5. seeds are less than those of I.aphylla 4-5mm long and 2-3mm wide.
In 1gramme 53-56 seeds (for aphylla - 32-35).
6. 2n=24 against for aphylla 48. Of course it is diploid.
In Northern Causasus where furcata grow there can be met form with one
flower on top of bloomstalk and often for that it is comfused with
I.pumila. In areas where furcata and pumila grow together there are no
found interspecies hybrids, because flowering time is
different-furcata flower latter.
