The Taiwan Pleione (Pleione Formosana) is a beautiful perennial of the orchid family. While very difficult to maintain outside of its natural environment, the plant hs been a victim of thievery, and the establishment of the Alishan Taiwan Pleione Nature Preserve was done as a protective measure. The small preserve also houses other rare plants, such as the tTaiwan sassafras, Alishan mahonia, and Taiwan douglas fir. | |
