Re: Tapeinia pumila

 

Yes, it's in the tribe Sisyrinchieae, and is thought to be most closely related to Libertia and Orthrosanthus.ÂIt's a tiny little evergreen, alpine mat-forming species.ÂI've never been able to find a photo of the flowers; here's an illustration though:

Dennis,
 That is an interesting plant. Would it be in line with Sisyrinchium?

I learned about a new irid tonight. Apparently it's native to Chile. I can't find much info on it, and some of the photos seem incorrect, but I think this one is correct.

It has lots of synonyms in other genera but as best I can tell Tapeinia is the official genus for it.
