In the same complex as duratii, arhiza, and streptocarpa, this is a fragrant species with short, wavy, recurving leaves and beautiful purple flowers.  The clumps I have available are currently producing multiple bloom spikes, meaning it will be quite a show when it finally blooms.  Pretty hard and easy to care for, although it is pretty slow growing
