Kiwi Earl Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 A previously unknown species within Sarracenia that'll turn taxonomy on its head, S.nepenthesii. Here are some photos of a newly opened lower pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James O'Neill Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Amazing! It is somewhat like ampullaria, being able to produce a pitcher with a vestigial leaf blade, and the formation of a single smooth unhaired wing down the front is quite extraordinary! The lid is remiscent of N. maxima, and the pitcher shape like that of an intermediate platychila, but I must estimate that it's closest known relative could be within the Sarraceniacae, possibly x moorei.

Guest Andreas Eils Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Earl, I assume you have experimented in your laboratory a little with the genetics of Sarracenia x moorei (?)... But I have to admit the results are nice indeed! Perhaps we can calculate with some more abnormal pitcher plants you created...? Kind regards Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Earl So I have to interview my motherplants if they ever have had contact with a Kiwi guy. Regards Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Interesting name for it! Looking at the throat it looks like a moorei of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
