An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Few months ago, a famous Taiwan aquatic plant expect, Lin Chun-Chi (林春吉) came to Malaysia. He would like to take some photos of Malaysian aquatic plant for his new book. So, we came to this wetland area.

This area is quite big. However, not much interesting aquatic plants there.

The only rare aquatic plant we found was Aponogeton undulatus! People there called it 'Sotong Air' (Water Squid). http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...m/DSCN2743.jpg

And I caught some tiger barb (Puntius partipentazona). Nothing special.

Due to not much things there, we decided to move to another wetland. After 1 hour travel, I saw something familiar hidden between the fern.

Wah... looks like haruan country man....

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Well. Didn't see any haruan. But saw a school of Toman! Quite a big school!!


Haruan = Channa striata
Toman = Channa micropeltes

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Haruan usually stay close to structure in shallow water... while Toman will roam and tends to group in one area... did you see red color fries? Arhh... miss my fishing days.... :crying:

Lim,

Was this in Penang? Mainland or Island?

Any Bettas found?

What species is that??? Doesn't look very umm gracilis like nor mirabilis

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

To NepNut: NO. Didn't see any red fries.

To Arvin555: Didn't get any Betta. Not in Penang Island. Not in northern mainland too.

The pitcher looks kinda weird! I never saw a pitcher like this before.

More pitchers/pictures coming up tonight! Stay tuned! :2thumbup:

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Cool!!! That pitcher kind of reminds me of my green sanguinea. I wonder what species is that?

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

another guess game:smile:, like it, could it be n. gracilis x mirabilis?

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Cant wait for the pictures...Could be a hybrid of the 2 like u guys said...Anyway can't wait to know...

Oh yeah where is this found?? Northern southern?

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Definitely an Area 51 for the sake of protection:laugh:

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Another pitcher with brownish colour. Could it be an undescribed species? I'm kinda confused!

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Suddenly, these two good old friends appeared!
Hmm... Could that mystery pitcher be...

Check the leaf and petiole of this mystery Nepenthes.

Now, I got some ideas about the identity of this unknown pitcher.

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Look at this upper pitcher! Is it familiar?
Yes! It's a natural hybrid between N. gracilis and N. rafflesiana!!

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

You like to tease ppl Lim !! *biggrin2*

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

interesting

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Lin you are so black hearted lol!Nice teasing game xP

Re: An unexpected finding near wetland area!
 

Lim, even the place is a guessing game, but of course we don't want to discuss where the place is in public and I don't have any chance to visit anyway even if I knew.. plus no betta :)

I got the Gracilis part right at least, but it was just a guess.

Most of your Gracilis actually have green pitchers? The one in my collection usually has very small and dark brown pitchers though.

Man I wouldn't be surprised that you will post a Drosera photo too :)
