Ryan,
According to the DIS checklist, Atroviolacea was collected and is
considered to be a natural hybrid between I.lutescens and I.pumila.
There is a notation:"AIS approved name: pumila atroviolacea, though
obviously not I.pumila".
It was collected in 1856 (Todaro) and won the Caparne award in 1952.
Enjoy your little beauty...:)
Cheers,
Ellen
