I. hederacea, I.nil, I. purpurea and I. pes-tigridis.

I. indica (a.k.a. learii, a.k.a. acuminata); it is self-sterile
but I believe that viable seed can be produced by crossing two
geographic varieties.

I suggest you contact your local botanical gardens. They are pretty
clear on identification. You can't tell me the taxonomy is so
involved in this species that botanists won't know the clear nature of
these seeds.
