模式标本：CHINA. Guangxi: Xing’an County, Maoer Shan, Huilong Temple, 1600m, April 11, 2016, W. Zhang & Y. Yang ZW003 (holotype: KUN!).

分类讨论：This hybrid grows on humus-covered rocks in forests or cliffs at forest margins, mixed with P. hookeriana at an elevation of 1300–1600 m. The hybrid was found only on rocks while P. hookeriana grows both on rocks and moss-covered trunks or branches of Lithocarpus hancei (Bentham) Rehder in a Tsuga/Rhododelldron forest from 1300 to 2000 m. The other parent, P. pleionoides, was not seen during our brief exploration of Maoer Shan. However, we collected samples of that species from Yinzhulaoshan Nature Reserve in Ziyuan County, a place less than 50 km away from Maoer Shan. The variation of lip morphology of P. × maoershanensis implies backcross between the hybrid and the parents (see Fig 2). This hybrid has also been raised artificially by Paul Cumbleton and registered as “Pleione Potto” (P. chunii × P. pleionoides) in 2009 at Royal Horticulture Society.

识别要点：Pleione × maoershanensis is a hybrid intermediate between P. pleionoides and P. hookeriana. It differs from the former by the lacerate lamellae (not denticulate) on the lip. It also differs from P. hookeriana by the brighter colour of flower and the deeply lacerate lamellae (not papillae or hair) on the lip.

形态特征：石生草本植物。假鳞茎卵球形到圆锥形，直径1.5-2.5×1-2厘米，具1枚叶。开花时叶未长出，成熟叶椭圆状披针形，10-20×3-4厘米，纸质，先端锐尖。花序直立或近直立；花序梗2.5-5厘米；花苞片18-28毫米，超过子房。花单生，鲜艳的玫瑰色。中萼片狭椭圆形，长40-55毫米，先端锐尖；侧萼片稍斜，35-50毫米长，稍宽于中萼片，先端锐尖。花瓣倒披针形，35-60毫米长，比中萼片狭窄，先端锐尖；唇瓣近菱形，倒卵形或展开时近圆形，35-50×30-49毫米，顶端边缘具小齿；花盘具4-6个深撕裂片。蕊柱30–40毫米。
