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. Pankaj
