Formerly called ionantha v scaposa, in 2000 it was renamed as its own species.  It also differs from kolbii, which looks very similar but kolbii produces white flowers while scaposa produces purple flowers.  Easy to grow, but does like more moisture and less light than its friends in the ionantha complex
