Pleione Natural Hybrids Gallery

"Natural" hybrids are those found wild in nature where two species whose ranges overlap have inter-bred).
Pleione x barbarae
(Recent DNA analyses seem to confirm these plants are natural hybrids, with true (white) P. grandiflora as one parent and P. bulbocodioides (or a similar species) as the other. The variability and vigour of these plants suggest that they are from a hybrid swarm with both F1 and back-crosses among them.)
Named cultivar :

Pleione x christianii
(P. yunnanensis x P. forrestii)

Pleione x confusa
(P. albiflora x P. forrestii)

Pleione x kohlsii
(P. aurita x P. forrestii)
Named cultivar :

Pleione x lagenaria
(P. maculata x P. praecox)

Pleione x taliensis
(P. bulbocodioides x ?   DNA studies confirm P. bulbocodioides as one likely parent but the other parent is still unconfirmed. Morphology suggests P. yunnanensis  as the other parent, but the DNA showed this is unlikely. P. aurita or possibly P. grandiflora seemed better candidates but further research is needed).
