Easy lah Lim,

This photo was taken in the wild and the background pitcher is a giveaway. Benstonei. Mostly likely taken, during your trip to Kelantan and Terengganu with Michael back in 2007.

Hi Choong,
I think the plants is N.hisute.

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
This photo I took few months ago. Not in Kelantan or Terengganu. But somewhere in Peninsular Malaysia. The habitat consider as lowland.

TranMinh, hirsuta pitchers are green not red in colour.

kltower 7th January 2010 11:20 AM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Lim,

If it is not benstonei, it must be one of the "N. smilesii like" plant that was found on G. Machinchang, Langkawi back in 2007. Are the upper pitchers tall and slim?

Choong,

I know of someone who has a red hirsuta plant. But you are right, I also do not think this is hirsuta. The pitchers and background of the habitat do not seem to fit.

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Well, just to throw something into the guessing game; N. reinwardiana?

piscesilim 7th January 2010 12:14 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Peninsular Malaysia got no wild N. reinwardtiana and N. hirsuta. Its not N. gracilis and N. benstonei too. I haven't been Gunung Machinchang yet. So, the N. smilesii alike Nep is out!

kltower 7th January 2010 12:32 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Lim,

I got it now. It is rafflesiana.

sooxiwei 7th January 2010 01:15 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1

Any tips on either it's a hybrid or pure breed?

NepNut 7th January 2010 01:16 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
I think it's N. gracilis x rafflesiana ...

shawnintland 7th January 2010 03:03 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1

NepNut 7th January 2010 03:09 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1

Sockhom 7th January 2010 03:53 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Could it be an unusual N. rafflesiana?


François.

marvin1997 7th January 2010 03:54 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Nope I don't think so but Nx Miranda sucks...doesn't do anything in the past two months..I thought it would be a vigorous plant

marvin1997 7th January 2010 03:56 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1

TranMinh 7th January 2010 05:54 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
It can be mirabilis x rafflesiana ummm very difficult.

marvin1997 7th January 2010 05:55 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Oh sorry I just got the feeling that I saw something like that before...

The leaves are definitly shows gracilis ancestry........(i think :p )

plantlover 7th January 2010 11:08 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Suck at guessing games unless it is a rajah or lowii or hamata. @ Marvin, you are just not growing it good enough, my miranda is becoming a weed and grasshoppers are trimming it (which i hate!).

wijaya 7th January 2010 11:17 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Happy New Year all,

I will like to take a guess, probably a variant of N. mirabilis or might be a natural hybrid of N. mirabilis x gracilis or other way around. :biggrin:

poweramps 7th January 2010 11:18 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Let me guess....gracilis x rafflesiana...

The spur and vaulted lid is raff like, and the peristome colouration too.

TranMinh 7th January 2010 11:50 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
I think about gacillis x rafflesiana too, leaf and pitcher.

poweramps 7th January 2010 11:52 PM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Yeah, not to mention the 'bulging' lower half of the pitcher, which excludes many 'slender' species as parents

NepNut 8th January 2010 01:52 AM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Another point... as far as I know, the only L/L nepenthes found in Peninsular Malaysia that consistently produce striped peristome can only be found in N. rafflesiana. Couple this with the fact that the plant also have decurrent leaves, hence I firmly believe it's a hybrid of N. gracilis x rafflesiana or vice versa.

piscesilim 8th January 2010 03:00 AM

Re: Guess Guess Guess 1
 
Yes. It is N. gracilis x rafflesiana! The winner is NepNut! :1thumbup:

Well. NepNut. What prize you want? Nepenthes, Sarracenia, Drosera, Pinguicula, Byblis, Dionaea, Utricularia? Choose 1 genus. I choose the species for you.
