Nepenthes mira
 

I am very pleased to introduce my latest nep. It arrived this morning from Tony at Captive Exotics. I will have to wait until later today to pot it up though as it is going to be 40 degreed here today and I don't want to stress it out that much.

Ooh... nice plant, Strath.

Re: Nepenthes mira
 

Nice redish pitcher.This plant is related to N.Rajah right?

Re: Nepenthes mira
 

Very nice.

No, I don't think it is any closer than the next nepenthens.

Re: Nepenthes mira
 

Nepenthes mira and rajah are very close related. That's documented in most scientific articles you'll find about N. mira.

Re: Nepenthes mira
 

Well although N mira does have a little young rajah shaped pitchers but according to wikipedia they are more related to Edwardsiana,macrophylla and villosa

The pitchers reminds me of my rajahs baby pitchers. Only this is longer.

Re: Nepenthes mira
 

Here is for example one link which tells that N. mira and rajah are closely related: http://www.cascadecarnivores.com/pro...roducts_id=104
Very interesting concerning the phylogenetc relationship of the nep species can be found here http://pitcherplants.proboards34.com...ay&thread=5183
Concerning this link they are related but not so closely.
Also I found information concerning the relationship on some german language websites.

As far as I know, nep mira is rather new, and was at first confused with nep rajah. I do believe that it is related to rajah, because of the pitcher shape.

Cheers
