Flytrap_canada Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi all... I had posted the following on the new ICPS forum, and have heard back from a few good folks. I thought I'd do the same over here... Now with the internet and all, one can easily google for a species and locate a description and an image of a searched plant. Well, I've got a few plants and I've tried googling them, and still I have no idea of what they are. Decades ago, I purchased some Neps that had ID names I cannot find on the Net, and if I do, they look nothing like the plants I have. Here are my old mystery Neps: The following were bought as "species" back in the early 80's: N insignis N soneyii (also known as mutt #1 or leopard skin in my collection) and the following... were purchased as hybrids, and I've long lost their id tags. They're all grown here in highland condition plants. Any help in identifying them would be most appreciated. Thanks! N. "mutt #2" N. "mutt #3" N. "mutt #4" N. xdreamy koto? aka N. mutt #5 N 'judith finn'? N xcurtisii I will take better photos of them later in the growing season to more clearly show some features (leaves, pitchers, flowers etc) and will post them here. Thanks.

venusflytrapman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 You know, I have seen mutt #2 before! I will try and find out what it is for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 mutt #2 : Nepenthes adnata? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusflytrapman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Well you have the pale inside, the purple outside, the small pitcher, I would think so. I think you can now give it that name, because it really looks like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytrap_canada Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Thanks... I'll check one of the current Nep reference books and compare the adnata species key to see if it jives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un lolo de plus Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Thanks... I'll check one of the current Nep reference books and compare the adnata species key to see if it jives. Adnata has very particular leaves: nearly round with slighty hairy edges. This might help, when the pitchers identification is not certain.
