Wow!
According to this description, you should have the true
_P.kondoi_ as described by S.J.Casper! This is a very rare plant
in cultivation here in Europe (where the most plants labelled
_P.kondoi_ are in fact _P.reticulata_). If the plant produces seed,
please include my name in the queue of people interested in
some grains.

Kind regards
Jan

PS:Congratulations to your _U.simulans_-flowers!
