kltower Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I have a plant from Wistuba back in 2003. After 5 years, the puny little plant have gone robust and is pitchering very well for me. The plants is giving me a few two inches pitchers. I am now think of getting one from Borneo Exotics for comparison. But according to BE website, the eymae they are selling originated from a clone in Germany. So are the clones of BE and Wistuba the same? BTW, I grow my plant in highland conditions (daytime 24°C and nightime 18°C, 80% humidity). Choong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phissionkorps Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't think they're the same. There's a rumor the Wistuba clone is nothing more than a maxima, but I haven't heard the same about BE's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, I dont know if its any help but heres my eymae, ive not had it long, I believe this is BE so it may help you with any visual differences; http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?a...=si&img=934 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens R. Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi, here is what i grow as Nepenthes eymae, Gunung Lumut, Sulawesi from Wistuba. Regards Jens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_muscipula Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I searched the forum before reopening this thread, just wondering what form of N. eymae has the more colorful upper pitchers. I know that BE sales N. eymae clone 2 which has a gorgeous dark peristome on it's lowers but are it's uppers green ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsivertsen Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 N. eymae is just another form of N. maxima in my opinion. I discussed this with John Turnbull after returning from Indonesia, and he agrees that aside from the unusual uppers. However there was a rush to publish, and so he included N. infundibuliformis (N. eymae) as part of his paper when he describes N. hamatus and N. glabrata in the same paper. There are dozens, upon dozens of forms of N. maxima in Sulawesi, and each isolated population has some uniqueness to it. Even this form has variations, some that resemble N. veitchii and N. hurilliana. Peristomes size and color vary in a lot of species. - Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe N. maxima is lowland and I don't have any lowland plants as it is easier for me to grow highlanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsivertsen Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 There are both highland and lowland populations of N. maxima in Sulawesi, including some intermediate forms as well. - Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
