Hi El -
I have not grown I. perrieri myself, but from what I have read I think you may be right about this being it. It's basically a diploid relative of I. aphylla. Although the photo doesn't show the whole plant, I can see that the branching is there, and the bloom is similar to aphylla, although a little lighter and more dainty than usual, which would make sense.
Hope someone who has grown it can make a positive ID for you.
Regards, Tom
