bux Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Hi Neps lovers, Here is a Nep i have grown from seeds i've got in 2014 from the Ebayer 'Nepentheceae' Seeds were supposed to be from a N. flava plant, but it looks something different. The leaves remind me of a N. densiflora. Pitchers look like those from the singalana like group. Maybe someone has plants from the same batch of seeds ??? Anyway i love the pitchers, can't wait until they get bigger ! Fabrice Edited March 29, 2017 by bux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Looks like n. Diatas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bux Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 You are right corky, but N. diatas does not hybridize with flava, do it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bux Posted March 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 N. flava x ovata ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunToFunky Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 The pitcher and leaf shape, along with the lovely reddish colouration would suggest N.Densiflora, but I can't say I see any hints of N.Flava poking through? I know that there's a hybrid of N.Densiflora with N.Spectabilis out there which would explain the striped peristome, but the leaves and peristome on that look completely different. I'd agree with Corky that it's most similar to N.Diatas. I suppose there's no knowing what's in it! It is very pretty though, do keep up updated with photos of larger pitchers as it grows!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bux Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I have check again the S. McPherson book vol. 2 (including indonesian sp.) and had a look also on my diatas, densiflora, bongso...plants and this plant have clear similarities with densiflora and angasanensis. I will take time to go on more details (presence of rhizome, hairs on tendril...) Time will say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacina Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Or you ask the seller which other species grew in the near of the plant he harvested the seeds of.Maybe he still remembers that. At least you can limit the possible pollinators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabgabinou Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Keep us apdated my friend! However, I can't see any ovata or flava in it, this pitcher is really elongated and has not the round shape of the flava group. Anyway, the shape of that plant is really curious and interesting! First thought was hamata or eddie shape because of the teeth we can see ahah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
