Curtis's Botanical Magazine notes: Moraea Papilionacea. Dwarf Moraea, <br /><br />Class and Order. Triandria Monogynia. <br /><br />Generic Character.-~-Vid. Net - 593, 613, Sc 695. <br /><br />Specific Character and Synonyms. MORAEA papilionacea (subbarbata) foliis duriusculis, caule simplice longioribus, extus linearis, utrinque pubescentibus ; spatha angustiore longiore ; unguibus laminas lanceolato-ovales et pariter patentes aequantibus, extimis basifoveola melliferainsculptis. G. <br /><br />IRIS papilionacea. Linn. Suppl. 98. Tbunb. Dijf. n. 37. /. 2. f. 1. prod. 12. Jacq. Coll. Suppl. 159. /. 3. /. 2. Mart. Mill. Dicl. Willd. Sp. PL 1. 238. <br /><br />Bulb-tuber as usual in the genus. Leaves about two or three, 3 &mdash; 5 inches in length, rather longer than the stem, stiffish, pubescent on both sides, but more shaggily so on the outer, where it is also lineate. Stem simple, terminated by a longish narrow-convolute fascicle of 2 &mdash; 3 flowers. Corolla regular divided to the bafe into fix petal-like fegments ; the ungues of which are upright and converge cyathiformly, about the length of the laminae, outer ones broader, slightly bearded within, with a fmall round honey-bearing cavity at their base; laminge lanceolate oval, equally patent. Style very short, twice shorter than the germen, and 4&mdash; -5 times shorter than the ungues ; stigmas petaloid, rather shorter than the inner segments, linear-lanceolate, divided to far below the bases of the laminae, segments narrow, lanceolate, acuminate, upright ; inner lip rounded. Filaments connate for the length of the short style, then diverging ; anthers linear-oblong. It varies much in the colour of its corolla ; of these varieties we have seen several excellent drawings in the Banksian library made at the Cape; all agreeing with ours in stature ; it possesses a very pleafsng fragrance. Thunberg and Jacquin make the corolla beardless (imberbis) which certainly was not the case in our specimen, although this pubescence was very slight. <br /><br />Found by Thunberg in abundance in sandy spots near Cape Town, in their Spring and our Autumn months. G.
