The next day morning, after having breakfast at Hai Peng Kopitiam, one of the famous kopitiam in Terengganu. We continued our hunting in a swamp forest at Southern Terengganu.

While Zahar was looking for some Betta tussyae in the forest, I spotted some green pitchers hanging around the bush.

It is a typical Nepenthes gracilis.

Re: Trip to Terengganu and Kelantan
 

While checking around, I saw this flowers with yellowish sepal. It's look really different from the N. gracilis's flowers. What could it be?

There are a lot of N. ampullaria hide inside the bush.

Check it's aerial pitcher...

It's a Nepenthes rafflesiana!!!
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...raffles2-1.jpg

I really can't believe my eyes!! I always thought that N. rafflesiana can only be found in Southern part of Peninsular Malaysia. But now I found it in Terengganu.

Check the size of the upper pitcher.

Leaving that hidden paradise, we headed to Tasik Kenyir.
Zahar was not follow because he got some works to do.
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/tylim79/tk1.jpg

Michael and I overnight in one of the Island at Tasik Kenyir.
And on the next day, we went to this waterfall .
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/tylim79/tk2.jpg

Because the time was too short. And we have to leave Tasik Kenyir before lunch time. Not much things were found.
Only got this frog.

Then, we took a taxi to Kuala Terengganu. And from Kuala Terengganu, we got on a 2.30pm bus to Machang. When reached Machang, we stayed in one hotel near UiTM. May be is the same hotel where ding stayed. But the volume of the television can be adjusted and the water of the bathroom got continuous supply! :biggrin:

Re: Trip to Terengganu and Kelantan
 

We woke up very early on the next day morning. Then we took a taxi to the type locality of the Nepenthes benstonei, " the Burning Hill! "
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/tylim79/bbr.jpg

About 1 hour hiking, we start to sport some Nepenthes.
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j130/tylim79/bb3.jpg

It's a Nepenthes mirabilis.
