Very nice as usual Wong;)

Ali,
Some of the N Gracilis sure don't look like those typical N Gracilis. :confused: BTW, those purple color leaves turn into green colour after the rain. :bored:

Thanks Wong for sharing with us all these pictures. It's always a thrill for me to see them in the wild.

I love gracilis, even though they don't look spectacular at all. It is their ability to grow and survive almost anywhere that I am attracted to. I can see from this site that the media is really sandy. It's like 80% sand and 20% fine clay etc. The first picture is a beauty. Looks like a dark brown pitcher and the color is so even throughout the pitcher. Does the other pitchers on this plant look like that?

Nice, looks like you've been busy Wong... *biggrin2*

Re: Wild N Gracilis of Melaka
 

amazing shots, thanks for sharing your trip with us.

Re: Wild N Gracilis of Melaka
 

By the way, have you seen any pure red gracilis before? I think it would be a beauty! So far I've seen black, green, maroon and mix of green and maroon, but not a pure red gracilis.

David,
So far, all the N Gracilis seems to have a least two different colour pitcher. The most common colour is the green colour and chocolate colour(?). :laugh:
No true red N Gracilis seen yet, only heavily sun burn pitcher found. The two colour pitcher seems to be quite common, I found them in Selangor, Melaka and Johor. :biggrin:
The stem and the leaves in the last few pictures are the ones that I think is not normal. :confused:

Re: Wild N Gracilis of Melaka
 

Hmm... could be a hybrid?? Any other nep species found there?

Re: Wild N Gracilis of Melaka
 

Could be.. some N Gracilis hybrid cross back to N Gracilis? :confused: Or maybe a mutant. *biggrin2* There's no other neps found in that area. :bored: It is a small area and most of the surrounding area have been developed. :glare: However, there's a small hill about 1 to 2 km away from the site.
