Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

I am extending my collection into nepenthes. Just acquired a small plant a few days back. Please help ID. If possible, educate me on how to distinguish this plant from similar species.

Attachment 3415

Hope it is an easy plant for beginner...:)

I think it is a hybrid of mirabillis. Yeah, do educate us on recognising plants species :)

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

It might be sanguinea or sanguinea hybird.

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

I agree, it seems closer to N. sanguinea (from the Genting Highlands) or its hybrid with N. ramispina, both very dark and spectacular plants! :1thumbup: - Rich

Thanks confirming.
I sort of heard that the lady selling it told me it's sanguinea.
I'll label it sanguinea.:)

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

my opinion is same as rsivertsen's....Well i don't think its a pure sanguinea cos of the shape of its mouth...Saguinea i've seen on pics and in wild :) have more teardrop kind of mouth...Soo it must have been crossed with something else..which i guess ramispina cos of the colour

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

i think it is a hybrid of sanguinea + something... coz i have something like this also:laugh:

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

Agree it could be hybrid of sanguinea and ramispina.

Here's my plant which was ID in this forum as ramispina x sanguinea too.

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

i think this is the sanguinea that i took at cameran highland

Re: Plant with dark and slender pitcher
 

This is very informative.
After some more readings, I agree sanguinea x ramispina is a closer fit.

Hosh, the color of peristome is different. Probably it is variation among sanguinea x ramispina.

I read from other forum that sanguinea has single spur as the plant matures. While the trait of branched spur is inherited from ramispina. I am wondering the reliability of using this characteristic to distinguish the two. At least to rule it out from pure sanguinea. If so, probably I should see how it progresses and update half a year later.

Thanks.:)
