Profile
Scientific name:	Pleione formosana (Hayata)

Features:	The Pleione formosana is a deciduous, perennial herbal plant consisting of only a corm and one leaf. Its flowers are bright lilac-colored. The Pleione formosana belongs to the first developmental phase of a rock seral and needs both sunlight and humidity to survive. Thus, should other types of plant life encroach upon their environment, the Pleione formosana will usually find it difficult to adapt to the changes brought on by such plants and will be replaced by them.
Habitat:	Pleione formosana are found in foggy, high humidity areas located on alpine tundra at 2000-3700m altitudes. They usually grow vertically on rocky walls or amongst shrubbery under large forests.
