MS Oct.2016/36 Pleione praecox : 6 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1) Location : Tawi, Mizoram Altitude :c. 1,700 m. Date : 08-11-2006 Habit : Epiphytic or lithophytic herb Habitat : Wild Very common all over north-east. This is difficult. I am describing a new species from India so I recently studied all 7 Indian plants. This looks so strange. I can see only one leaf. Pleione praecox will have two leaves and it will have red spots on the bulbs. Secondly there is a natural hybrid Pleione x kohlsii which has single leaf. praecox has 3-5 lines of papillose hairs on labellum whereas kohlsii has 5 lines. Praecox is autumn flowering and kohlsii is spring flowering. Hence this being autumn flowering I would say this is praecox. Kohlsii is so far reported only from Yunnan. But can't confirm. Thanks a lot for sharing. Same Orchid. Attachments (1) References: |
