Ludwig,
Is that copelandii form Apo or Pasian?
Nice color. I am starting to believe that copelandii from BE is nothing more than a highland form of alata. I have huge vines of these and I am still to be convinced that their uppers are infundibular in any way. They also appear to do the same thing that N. alata's do when making uppers, they develop a highly colored lid and colorless-green pitcher. I would expect N. copelandii to produce an upturned lid or diminutive one. But this is not the case.

This might be an incident where we've been labeling something as one species when it is something else altogether. (i.e. N. pilosa was all along N. chaniana). Just because a plant was collected from a specific locale, doesn't equate that it is that particular species in question.

Pasian. I had the Apo form too and was sad that it died last summer, but I have a photograph to remember it by...
