North West Neps Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yes it's an upper pitcher in Carniplants photo. I believe the lower pitchers are pretty hard to distinguish from maxima ? I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corky Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good luck with the plant , don't know why they didn't use a pic from a plant the seed was collected from . That pic is from california carnivores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 The problem with these photos is people only post the most interesting ones, unless we can see a whole bunch of plants in the wild we are either guessing or relying on second or even third hand opinion. That is factually untrue. The authors did review all the type specimens they could. The shapes of the pitchers is in fact first hand information.

Dave Evans Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well here's my pitcher open at last, looks similar to manders, not quite as fat.... This pitcher is not urceolate, and very likely not a good example of N. eymae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitar Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 This pitcher is not urceolate, and very likely not a good example of N. eymae. Post pictures of your own plant then Dave. I've never seen a single picture of your plant/s in CPUK... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I would like to see a lower pitcher photo of a "true" eymae as the links already posted here are still of the upper pitchers. If the lower ones are indeed urceolate then there's no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotcarnivorousplants Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I have a lower, but I don't know if it is the real thing I was sold it as n.eymae certainly doesn't look like maxima and the leaves have a very unique shape. Sorry about the photo only one I have, I'm on holiday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocky71 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Cheers Scots, shares the same characteristics as mine, manders etc... I guess what I'm wanting to see is a ' wine glass ' shaped lower pitcher on an eymae as that is what has been suggested as the ' real thing' .

christerb Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I don't recall seeing a small lower from the true N. eymae ever, but the mature lowers come across as much tubbier with a rather big mouth. Regards, Christer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elements of the winds looks rather unusual too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthes Lowii Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ok so I will be visiting Cal. Carn, they have a bush of leavs as there Nepenthes Eymae, so I will be able to take pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Who mentioned type specimens? i was talking about photos of a variety of plants in the wild. It is not an easy to place to get to. Hence, the lack of photos. I want to see photos of the types myself! It would be nice if these plants were scanned and uploaded to a sort of Herbarium Wiki.

nicmanism Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I bought a N Eymae from Andreas Wistuba a few years ago. Can anyone confirm whether this is a genuine N. Eymae? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 it appears to be the same eymea maxima hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicmanism Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Guess I'll have to wait a few years to see what the upper pitchers look like. This plant grows very, very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicmanism Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 I bought my N eymae (or what ever it really is) hoping it would form upper pitchers like this one from Wistuba's website: This is very different to the image Gareth just posted. I am getting less and less certain of what a real eymae looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmanism Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Does anyone have a copy of Stewart McPherson's "Field Guide to the Pitcher Plants of Sulawesi"? What do the pictures of N eymae look like in this book? I've found this image on the Redfern Natural history website: It looks a bit like the one on Wistuba's website. But I'm not 100% sure it is an image of N eymae. It isn't labelled on the website. Edited August 26, 2015 by nicmanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
