I. tainingensis is distinct from I. kuocangshanica and I. huangyanensis subsp. attenuata in having lower sepal subsaccate-funnelform, spur 1.5–1.8 cm long; lateral sepals suborbicular, callous, 6–8 × 5–8 mm; capsules fusiform, 1.5–2.0 cm long and seeds 2.0 × 1.0 mm.</p><p>Description.</p><p>Annual herb, 40–80 cm tall, glabrous.
