Dear Fellow CP enthusiasts,
I just returned from an expedition with Greg Bourke to study various CPs in the remote Cape York peninsula of Australia. It was a fascinating trip and the three nepenthes there are extremely interesting. I was a little skeptical about how distinct N. rowanae and N. tenax are from N. mirabilis. However on seeing these plants in the wild, I completely agree with Charles's description. While there are so many hybrids of these three species across the swamplands of Cape York (in fact, the majority of Nepenthes we found are hybrids) the distinct species are very clearly different and easy to see in the field. Note the spectacular colouration of the N. mirabilis. The plants in Cape York were certainly the most beautiful specimens of this species that I have seen anywhere! Anyway, I thought I would post these images here. I hope you like the photos! I will upload alot more shortly to http://www.redfernnaturalhistory.com/gallery My best regards to you all, Stewart  Drosera indica  Drosera indica  Drosera indica  Drosera indica  Drosera indica  Drosera indica  Drosera lanata  Nepenthes mirabilis  Nepenthes mirabilis (or possibly a distant hybrid)  Nepenthes tenax  Nepenthes rowanae  Nepenthes rowanae  Nepenthes rowanae  Nepenthes rowanae  Nepenthes rowanae x mirabilis or tenax or complicated hybrid with all three species  Byblis liniflora  Byblis liniflora  Byblis liniflora  Byblis liniflora  Byblis liniflora |

Hi Stewart, amazing pictures!
Very healthy plants from all species. I most liked the N. rowanae and B. liniflora. These Byblis look quite different from the plants we use to see in cultivation. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what an amazing array of pitchers from just three species and their hybrids! I really hope to get up to Cape York sometime soon and see some for myself. Thanks for sharing pics of some Neps which seem to be rarely photographed.
Regards Neil |

Hey Stew!
Congrats, what lovely pictures! I especially liked the D.indica, they look fabulous! I'd also forgotten that D.lanata grew in Cape York, nice! Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia |

Great photos,
The lanata and byblis were a nice surprise addition to the nepenthes thread. Cheers, Dave. |
