Chinese Fritillaria
Jozef Lemmens:
Dear All,
Is there anyone who is able to help me with the identification of this Fritillaria? The picture was taken in Sichuan (China).
I have uploaded to my website - http://www.alpines.be/ - more photographs of my China 2006 trip.
I would welcome any help with identification of plants which I am unfamiliar with.
Thanks for any help.

Gerard Oud:
I think it's a variety of Fritillaria whitallii

There is no F. whittalii in China, It is very difficult but it could be a F. cirrhosa for example...
Lesley Cox:
I'm sure you're right. It IS F. cirrhosa. I've had the name on the tip of my tongue for days and couldn't think of it. I've lent my Frit book and file to someone so couldn't find a reference in a hurry. Certainly no F whittallii in China.
Maggi Young:
F. cirrhosa is very variable : but then again, there are few plants which are not!! ;D
What about a form of F. roylei, just to throw another possibility into the mix? I wouldn't like to say for sure without seeing the whole plant in front of me.... well, in front of the BD, really, he's better than I, though he admits these plants are tricky!
