Jonathan Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Two more plants a little lower down the road - the first also looks like N. maxima. The second plant had been macheted to clear the trail - only one pitcher remained but it was v colourful. Am I right in thinking that this is a lower pitcher of the species appearing in Post Three?

Amori Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Did you observe any spurs on the underside of the lid, Jonathan? Thanks for sharing, these are magnificent pics! Cheers Amori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted October 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hi Kera There were spurs on the underside of the lid in the green forms, but not on the marbled pitcher above. Presumably also a hybrid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Dear Johnathan, I can see the end of lid projection normally seen on Nepenthes maxima is displayed on the "marbled" pitcher plant. Also, I can see that the leaves are strongly petiolate. All the photos posted in this thread appear to show N. maxima. N. fusca is from Borneo Island, and is basically defined as not being from Sulawesi Island (along with a couple of other physical characteristics). Sincerely, Dave Evans Hi KeraThere were spurs on the underside of the lid in the green forms, but not on the marbled pitcher above. Presumably also a hybrid?
