Sockhom Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Hello, Here is a tribute to N. mirabilis, an underrated species, as far as I can see. ;-) I observed it several times along the Cambodian coast. I won't give you new informations about that widespread species. It grows in wet spots and in open habitats. Most of the plants I saw look exactly like the pictures I used to admire in the Nepenthaceae literature. Just enjoy those elegant "pots"! N. mirabilis in Kampot: Paddy field on the left, N. mirabilis on the right... Edited August 20, 2009 by Sockhom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) N. mirabilis near Kampong Som (Sihanoukville): Open habitat, wet, with short shrubs and grasses. This pitcher looks like N. clipeata 's, doesn"t it? The most beautiful mirabilis in Cambodia (as far as I know) are found in Kbal Chay: Edited August 20, 2009 by Sockhom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MPandini Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Wonderful "lowland" species! I grow it "around" my house, on free-air! And when weather is very warm, it looks better! Hugs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Still nice plants lam. Always good to see wild Neps We get so few from Viet Nam. Perhaps a Mod could move the double post to CP's in the wild ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 lam - I'm guessing those are smilesii (perhaps Francois or Cello can confirm). Not sure about the last one. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hello, The plants from Dalat are Nepenthes smilesii (formerly N. anamensis). The following is a hybrid including N. mirabilis. I have already seen it before. Where was it collected Lam83? and a strange type: Cheers, François.
