Hello all

look at this pitcher - I have seen thousands of Nepenthes pitchers so far, but none as strange as this one.... :-)

cheers

Urs

I did not cut open the pitcher to check, since it was in a ntl Park (Tambuyukon). It's an edwardsiana, the only pitcher affected on this plant. But further down on other plants I found 2 more pitchers which where affected, but only with 2 and 3 "bubbles".

Wikipedia says that there are no gallwasps in Asia, sow wether there is now or its another Insect which caused this disease.

cheers
