Unknown nep hybrid
 

Hi everybody,
Another day, another unknown nep hybrid *biggrin2*

I think this could be a N. x coccinea or a hybrid involving it. Since I don't have N. x coccinea, I can't really do any comparison. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I think you right. Are the pitchers very thin and weak?

That's 100% not a xCoccinea.The peristome don't become flare like that and the pitcher shape is different too.

Mind telling where you got it Robert?

My guess rafflesiana x Coccinea??

I think Ali might be right. It might be raff x ecoccenia. My xcoccenia is not so elongated as well and the ladders on yours look more like raffs.

Here's a plant from Jonathan...

Thanks everybody for your help. Appreciated.

Ali,
I got this "bonus" nep as a nep seedling inside a pot of nep I bought in Thailand. Found this "hitch hiker" when I'm repotting... *biggrin2*

There's another possibility that it might be a N. mirabilis x xcoccinea because I have seen this hybrid widely available in Thailand plus the fact that this nep has thin paperly leaves like N. mirabilis. I believe if this hybrid involve N. rafflesiana (plus the raff in x coccinea) , it's should have more traits from N. rafflesiana like pitcher shape and thicker leaves.

I will update this thread when this nep is more mature and making uppers. Thanks again.
