Moraea inconspicua flower less spotted

The Moraea inconspicua flower in picture has even less in the line of petal markings than the flowers of other specimens shown in this Album.

The corolla forms a distinct cup in the lower limb or claw parts of its six tepals.  This cup won’t hold water or much else as the tepal claws are narrow, not touching each other. The rim of the cup is a proper ring, the tepals all reflexed neatly at the same length. The lemon-yellow flower colouring is only present on the corolla parts outside the cup in this case.

The inner tepals are smaller, as is the case in some Moraea species. The outer tepals are sparsely black-speckled where nectar guides are often present on (outer) Moraea tepals. The outer tepal parts (outside the cup) are also much wider than the inner ones, about twice as long as the cup. All the tepals have here narrow tip attenuations or extensions, conspicuously prolonged on the about truncate-tipped inner tepals.

The three forked style branches become separated from their central column at corolla cup height, in-curved in their upper parts. The style in picture is coloured like the inside of the cup.

Pretty when seen close-up, M. inconspicua flower colours include more options. The flowers are, however, quite small, only about 15 mm in diameter, living up to their specific (Latin) name, meaning inconspicuous (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; Moriarty, 1997; iNaturalist).
