Pulsatilla albana var. lutea
Pulsatilla ajanensis
Pulsatilla tatewakii

- both are long shots but may be worth trying:
The Ranunculaceae Group of The Hardy Plant Society (they might know of a member keen on Pulsatillas) http://www.hardy-plant.org.uk/specialist/ranunculaceae/default.htm (http://www.hardy-plant.org.uk/specialist/ranunculaceae/default.htm)

and perhaps try Christopher Grey-Wilson as he was working on a Pulsatilla book at one time (so guess he might know of enthusiasts) his address is to be found in past AGS journals.

there doesn't seem to be a National Collection, unfortunately.

Hi Giles,
