I don't know whether this is of interest, but the MDB species i. attica
(considered to be a subspecies of i. pumilla) goes completely dormant
during the summer. In their native habitat it doesn't rain for several
months during the summer (not usually, anyway). The fall rains stimulate
the new growth.
