Maciej Stelmach's Heliamphora and Co.


Recommended Posts

Hello. Some years ago I had a topic on CPUK with my pictures of Heliamphora. I'd like to resume posting photographs of my plants here but this time with other CP genera as well.

First I'll go with 2 very closely related species, coming from the same Tepui - Amuri. My personal take on these is that the H. exappendiculata from Amuri are more or less hybridized with H. uncinata, mostly because they bear nectar glands on the back of their pitchers which is typical feature for H. uncinata but nonexistent when it comes to H. exappendiculata.

Another shots of different Heliamphora exappendiculata clones - M. Schach clone being more compact, and A. Wistuba clone with slender, taller leaves.

Heliamphora ceracea x hispida - nice hybrid that naturally occurs on Cerro Neblina Massif. Rather compact and easily clumping.

Heliamphora neblinae AW clone Vir2 - very tall and vigorous clone which under proper light forms red stripe through the center of its' leaves as seen on the picture.

Just recently described species (March 2024) - Heliamphora electrum, formerly known as H. spec. Venamo and H. collina (Cerro Venamo).

So-called Heliamphora "Mickey" - a very old clone in cultivation, natural hybrid from Ilu-Tramen Massif. Many years ago it's been circulating under the name H. nutans (Tramen) x ionasi.

A very nice Heliamphora ionasi, and probably my favourite as well. It grows to extraordinary sizes and is the biggest clone of this species in my collection. Under moderate light the leaves are distinctly veined. The venation is still visible on this pictured specimen but blended a bit with orange coloration caused by stroner illumination. I got this plant over 20 years ago from AW.

Very nice hybrid from A. Wistuba - Heliamphora sarracenioides x minor "Burgundy-Black". It's rather short and compact growing, but turns deep red and forms dense clumps over time with unique shaped pitchers.
