I expect we'll hear from Paul C. If not, I'd suggest contacting him directly from the forum.

Hi Chris,
This is probably a form of P. pleionoides. If it is a hybrid then it would be more or less impossible to identify as so many of them have this colour scheme

Paul, many thanks for your help.  Once again this forum comes up trumps!  I'll amend my label accordingly.
