Common names
I. bathycolpos Hallier f. var. sinuatodentata Hallier f.: 53 (1899a). Type: Mpumalanga, Lydenburg, Wilms 988 (B, holo.t; JE, L, PRE!).
Information
Perennial herb with woody taproot, produc­ing annual prostrate stems; scabrid in all parts except corolla. Stems terete or angular, up to ± 2 m long. Leaves subcoriaceous, secund, some­what peltate, cordate to triangular-cordate, 15-55 x 7.5-40.0 mm, apex acute to rounded, usually mucronate with deep basal sinus and oblong basal lobes, upper surface subglabrous, rough, finely net-veined, lower surface similar but with somewhat raised veins; margin thick­ened, subentire to rarely with large irregular teeth; petiole shorter than or ± as long as leaves. Peduncles 1-or 2-flowered, ± as long as leaves; bracteoles minute; pedicels 5-20 mm long, much thickened in fruit. Sepals unequal, charta-ceous; outer acute to obtuse, ±12 mm long; inner acute, up to 20 mm long, dark green to brown or purplish green. Corolla funnel-shaped with spreading limb, pale mauve to almost white with mauve-magenta centre, 35-70 mm long and limb as wide; midpetaline areas glabrous, conspicuous. Capsule globose or depressed-globose, glabrous, ±15 mm in diam­eter. Seeds ± 10 mm long, tom
Habitat
Specimens with larger leaves with coarse irregular teeth and a narrow basal sinus and usu­ally with larger flowers, were described as the var. sinuatodentata Hallier f., but this variety is not worth maintaining because these specimens, which seem to be restricted to the Lydenburg area of Mpumalanga (with a milder winter cli­mate), may simply represent a more luxuriant form. The species is distinguished by being scabrid in all parts except the corolla.
