Re: Help me also.
 

its a chinese person who told you it's "angkau tekor" or other races??

Re: Help me also.
 

Hahaha..it's a hokkien lang(chinese hokkien). So am i.
Actually i asked him about those neps species/hybrid but he don't know and tell me it's monkey cup. Thinking that i don't understand he say 'angkau tekor' in hokkien. It is the direct translation to hokkien i suppose.

Re: Help me also.
 

ooppss.....then no sure......chinese dialect fail....

Re: Help me also.
 

This is also the first time i hear people calling it angkau tekor, normally they called them 'chi lung' or 'choo loong'.

Re: Help me also.
 

hahaha....i thought east coast malay slang, "engkau teka" or in english, "you guess"....

Re: Help me also.
 

Well. I guess is Lau (老) Kao (猴) Teh (茶) Koh (壶）in Hokkien, which means Monkey Teapot!

Re: Help me also.
 

hahahaha....then what is 'ang'?

Re: Help me also.
 

ang usually mean red lor...

Re: Help me also.
 

Certain places call lau kau, others call angkau. Hokkien also many variety just like neps hehe..:tongue:

Re: Help me also.
 

Haha! Thats a funny name, I have only heard the common monkey cups and periuk kera.

Re: Help me also.
 

You know sometimes people call venus flytraps as Zhu Long Chao as well

Re: Help me also.
 

Guess diferent cultures, different names. Some might sound funny but they all refer to one thing, Angkau Tekor....ooop!!! i means Nepenthes hehe..

Re: Help me also.
 

No! VFT is 捕蠅草 (Bu Ying Cao). 豬籠草 (Zhu Long Chao) only refer to Nepenthes. For those who is not familiar with carnivorous plants always thought that every CPs is 豬籠草 (Zhu Long Chao)! But this is not true.

Re: Help me also.
 

Thanks for the clarifications.

Re: Help me also.
 

Yea it's so funny when I try to explain to my friends XD And especially when you use the scientific names*biggrin2*

Re: Help me also.
 

Yeah, and then they will use a weird expression looking you.....

Re: Help me also.
 

Angkau tekor...I love the nep at your profile picture..

Re: Help me also.
 

FYI, nepethes also known as

Kantong Semar - Indonesia
Mot Koa Mot Keng Ling - Thailand

Re: Help me also.
 

What does it mean?

Re: Help me also.
 

Hi kit1212,
I love them too, but too bad they are not mine. Saw them in one of the nursery in Cameron but the price quoted too steep for me. So i reckon the next best thing to do is to snap a picture as rememberance. It's an N.Veitchii but not sure which variant.

Re: Help me also.
 

Hahaha..from hokkien, we now have indon and thai names for nep. Very interesting indeed.
