We begin to think you are right Maggi. The label (attached) that was close to the plant seems to be that but is in Gerd Stopps very distinctive script. On that label the name is followed by the name Wallis.
I am going to send it to Gerd for (hopefully) clarification.
Cheers Maggi,

As a friend and longtime customer i know Gerds writing. It means, that
this P. auricula is a form from the Wallis in Switzerland

Thats right Ruweiss.
Gerd has confirmed the plant was grown from seed collected in the Valais (Wallis in German).
I love it.
