Fabricio de Oliveira Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Hi folks. this plant has past me as Nepenthes gracilis. But friends question this ID. They say it is a gracilis hybrid. I would like to help in the correct identification to this plant. Thanks ps: this a female plant Edited November 22, 2012 by Fabricio de Oliveira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathias Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hi! perhaps N. tobaica or N. benstonei? Definetely not gracilis (leaf bases should run down the stem). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabricio de Oliveira Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 To help, I am posting more photos. Now is a male plant from another Brazilian grower. The plants came from the same grower supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Not a hybrid, but N. tobaica. The ID cannot not be made with the pitcher alone, as it matches somewhat the pitchers of both N. gracilis and N. reinwardtiana. However, the leaf shape plus pitchers make this N. tobaica.
