christerb Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) Hi François, Nice plant. I also have this one, since mine is originally from MT, I believe it is from Batu Buli. BTW, do you get the French CP society journal Dionée? If so, I would be interested to know if there were an article about N. chaniana in one of the issues earlier this year?

I was once a member of the french society for a very short time. You can get their back issues. There was recently a nice article (in the issue n° 65 with the Heliamphora minor in the frontcover) with pictures by Stewart Mc Pherson, among others. That's funny, i just discovered that article today :) . http://dionee.nuxit.net/content/blogcategory/51/106/ You will also find nice pictures of the real Nepenthes pilosa and, as you will see, you can buy the issue via Paypal, if you want. Friendly, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I have it too, mine has orange flecks on the inside of the pitcher. I agree its a very nice plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hi again, OK, actually the reason for asking is that I was initially approached by the editor to provide a photo of N. chaniana, but I guess they did manage to find better ones elsewhere in the end.

Sockhom Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Cute plant, Manders. It looks promising . Christer, i saw a picture of your Nepenthes chaniana in the page 15 of the Dionée newsletter. Nice picture ! François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Hi François, Oh, so it actually made into Dionée, thanks for letting me know. Nice plant, Manders. BTW, do you know from where your both plants come, are they the Batu Lawi form (Wistuba), or? Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yes mine was from Wistuba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Mine's from C. Klein who got it from MT. Looks like Wistuba's clone exhibits some red speckles in the inner of the pitchers, at least when the plant is still young (i've just seen young specimens). Cheers ! François.

christerb Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, Thanks for the replies. Manders, it will be interesting to see if your plant retain the reddish coloration as it matures. The photos from the wild that I have seen only show all-green/yellow specimens, but then we have the Mt Alab population which apparently show more red spotting, but from what I understand there aren't many plants left, possibly only one. I don't know if this form, or any other is in cultivation. Regarding N. chaniana from MT, I really hope that they have produced more than one clone (both males and females), since I'm hoping that we grower will be able to produce seed from specific populations in cultivation. But then I think that should be the goal with other species/forms as well. Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a really nice picture of a Nepenthes chaniana upper in Clarke's " A guide to the pitcher plants of Sabah" page 24 (picture by Anthony Lamb). The pitcher has a beautiful peristome with red stripes ans reddish speckles in the underneath of the lid. I don't know the location of the plant shown in the picture. Friendly, François.

christerb Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi François, Yes, I have the guide, and from what I understand it that photo should be from the population on Mt Alab (Crocker Range). A colour drawing of this form is also present in Lamb/Phillipp's Nepenthes book. That is how I learned about the perilous state of this population due to a road construction that took place several years ago. But as you probably have read recently on another forum, at least one plant is left there. Hopefully there are more "hiding" there, as there would be a shame if it is the end of this population.

Fredders Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi guys On my recent trip to Borneo we saw N. chaniana in the wild with the red flecks on the pitcher. There was only a couple of plants in that spot though. But it was great to see. I'll show a few more pics on my Borneo field trip a littel later. Cheers Steve N. chaniana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un lolo de plus Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Wow! beautiful pictures! We are used to see this species in yellowish-green colors. it is the fisrt time I see it with these delicate red spots. laurent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerb Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi Steve, and thanks for showing this beautiful photo. Interesting variation, the pitchers does not only differ in colour, but also it doesn't widens toward the mouth like most others I have seen. From what I understand the Crocker Range form is supposed to be the type for this species. After reading the report from your fellow countrymen, who only found one lonely plant, it is indeed good news to hear that there are more around.
