    This is the Chinese form of the species (from Yunnan). Over the past few years there has been much debate about separating this back out and returning it to species status.

    The type was the alba form, but a regular-coloured form of this also exists.

    In Melbourne this tends to flower during mid and late Winter (July and August).
