Did you take a closer look if the main stem produced roots while clasping and growing upwards?

Only 13 of us with mike and geoge, some pullout last minute.
Didnt notice there are root growing out from the stem, the surface of the tree is very dry. It hug on to the tree using the leaf and can grow as high as 20-30ft which reach the top of the tree.

let me guess.. the place should be sarawak or sabah since the origin cultivate is from there

If anyone have the book " Nepenthes of Borneo" by Dr Charles Clarke take a look at the back cover, there is the answer

edward, what is sibu's veitchii?

[edwardyeeks]

Whoops, typo. I was meaning in-situ, not 'sibu'. Have corrected it.

Post more pics of veitchii, Robert! There is something I suddenly thought, is it possible that the flared peristome of climbing veitchii acts as some sort of clasp/grip for the whole pitcher? In most pics, I can see the peristome 'wrapping' around the tree trunk leaving the peristome still looking flared.
