Re: New acquisitions...
 

I don't think its a thorelii x truncata...Why cos of the leaf shape..Does not show any signs of truncata in it..From what i normally see truncata has quiote a big influence on the leaves with hybrids of it..

Ken,
You are wrong.Have you seen EP's xPredator (truncata x hamata)?

The plant has only truncata influence in the pitcher size.Other grow similar to hamata.

Anyway, this is No ID nep No. 2 from Eric... yes, Eric also dunno what species this nep belongs to... :crying:

Hope you guys can help :shy:

I really doubt these No ID nep originated from EP coz it's cheap.... so what the heck.. :laugh: Eric did however mentioned it probably originated from MT (Eric got the plants from other source), any clues??

cbkhoon,
Haha..... To confuse you and others even more, this is how my N. viking x kuchingensis looks like.... also from Eric... :spinning:

So?? Confuse yet... *biggrin2*

Re: New acquisitions...
 

Hmm... Robert, your viking x kuchingensis is very nice.. I actually wouldn't mind if mine turned out like that.. But then I'll have to get myself a real viking again.. :D Your green NoID has great pitcher to leaf ratio.. :)

Re: New acquisitions...
 

Robert,

That might be rafflesiana x veitchii.The leaves which looks like veitchii and the pitcher do resembles raff a bit.The ridged peristome.

Hope this helps.!

Re: New acquisitions...
 

paphioboy,
Thanks. I picked this viking x kuchingensis becoz of it's peristome and pitcher shape :smile:

A good excuse to get yourself another new nep *biggrin2*. Hope you get the right one next time....

Ali,
Ya, I'm guessing about the same thing. Oh well, have to grow it a little longer to see it's more mature pitcher. Thanks.

Re: New acquisitions...
 

This was labelled as "red lantern". I have one too.
I saw in a Taiwanese forum recently about a member called a nep "hong teng long" (literally means red lantern in English) the name in English was N. xRebecca Soper, I tried google in the net, N. xRebecca Soper looked quite similar to what we have. Maybe you guys should also check on the web and see. If this is a xRebecca Soper, then it should be a N. gracillima x ventricosa.
If Eric's source is from Taiwan, then it should be N. xrebecca soper.

Re: New acquisitions...
 

Hi TS,
Thanks for your input, will definately take a closer look. If it's really "red lantern", even better.... *biggrin2*

Re: New acquisitions...
 

EP sells a ventricosa named Red lantern if i'm not mistaken.

Re: New acquisitions...
 

Hi TS,
After some googling, I found this site http://www.hantsflytrap.com/nmc045-x...soper-90-p.asp. This site refer N. xRebecca Soper as a cross between N.ramispina x N.ventricosa :spinning: while most Taiwanese website stated it's N. gracilima x N. ventricosa.... :spinning:

Nevermind, at least now I have some idea what this mystery nep might be.... *biggrin2*

Thanks again TS... :1thumbup:
