johnnyfrye Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Very cool! That last one looks particularly vicious in contrast to the stereotypical prettiness of Heliamphora, Minor or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 EP have indeed recently changed the name of the H. minor they were selling to pulchella. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks for all your compliments and updates on the ID of my plant ~~ I am a bit surprised about the wrong label by EP as they seldom make mistake like this ... And this is my fault not to learn more about those I am growing ... Otherwise I may find out much earlier ... However, I am so glad to hear that I actually have a pulchella ~~~ I like this plant a lot as it keeps on growing very well for me and I enjoy seeing such robust growths ~~ Many thanks again to all that contribute in the discussion and I really appreciate your kind help ~~ Sincerely, Avery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am a bit surprised about the wrong label by EP as they seldom make mistake like this ... When did you purchase the plant? It got re-named a short while ago, in 2005 I think, so it may have been known as H. minor 'hairy variety' when you purchased it. Wistuba states 'H. pulchella Formerly known as hairy variety of H. minor.' on his site and Bob's carnivorous plant photo finder site has the following quote: 'Described in Das Taublatt, Heft 53, 2005/3: In this paper we formally describe a new species of Heliamphora, Sarraceniaceae, namely Heliamphora pulchella, from Chimanta range. This species is related to Heliamphora minor. Until now there was some confusion about plants that were referred to as Heliamphora minor. While the holotype of Heliamphora minor that was collected on Auyan Tepui only has very short and dense cilia on the inner side of the pitcher, other specimens collected within the Chimanta range show very prominent scattered bristles instead. Our studies indicate that the distribution ranges of the short-haired and the long-haired plants are completely disjunctive. In addition we show other characteristics that clearly separate both Heliamphora populations' Heliamphora pulchella is a beautiful species and I particularly like the hairy pitchers For comparison, I've posted some pictures of Heliamphora minor here: http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
