Good evening sir,

I was looking through my folders to upload photos to FOI and I found this photo for I. inconspicua there. One of the characters that lead away from I. inconspicua is that there is no spur which is very much present in your photo.  I request you to please check again.

In this regard, I found the following posts on eflora that have wrongly been identified as I. inconspicua:

I have just posted clear photos of I. inconspicua now.

I was with Bhaskar sir on a trip and he identified it on the spot for me, so there is no ambivalence in the identity. I did not want to inform senior members in the above posts that there may be a doubt in the identity and hence told you instead.

Once you have checked all of this, kindly also inform Tabish sir on FOI regarding this. I have sent in the photos to FOI just now as well.

Thank you.
