Nepenthes spec. nov ‘DA’

[Aliamyz]

Hey guys,
Here is the pics of newly discovered N. spec. nov ‘DA’.
It's stunning!Please give comments!
Thank you.












There's no much information about this plant yet so i dont know if it's a highland or a lowland plant.I think it's a highland.
It looks much like rafflesiana x rajah.

It is a highlander.

hai....... I don't know we will hear anymore Cool and unqiue lowlander discovery for the next 1000 years.

[David]

I'm so frustrated too Jeff. It's always highlanders. Sigh...

[plantlover]

So big!! I agree with David. No giant sized or unique lowlanders.

Hi Guys,
Here's the quote from Stewart McPherson's site;

During 2007, Alastair Robinson, Stewart McPherson and Volker Heinrich encountered a truly remarkable, giant new species of pitcher plant in the Philippines. This magnificent new plant produces some of the largest, most voluminous and most beautiful traps of all known pitcher plants.
The formal description of this new species has been submitted for publication and further information will shortly be provided here. Please check back soon for more details or join our newsletter for news on the publication of this plant!
Detailed information and several photos of Nepenthes sp. 'D. A.' is presented in Redfern's soon-to-be-released titles Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume One and Pitcher Plants of the Old World Volume Two. Please see Redfern book catalogue (left) for more details or to place an order.

Hope this plant can tolerate lower temperatures and some spectacular hybrids can be make with this nepenthes.Take it easy Jeff and David!Some species like ampullaria and bicalcarata can't be grown in HL conditions ,right?So be proud...!
Your welcome Victoria!

Hahah
yah David, quite frustrated I agree. Hope for a good news. But I doubt.....

I think Bical and Amp alone not enough to compare to those with Toothy peristome like Hamata or Villosa.

People who can grow highlander has less trouble to grow lowlander than us who have more problem to grow highlander with our climate.

Envy envy...

If I know Villosa or hamata can grow in lowland condition but take double the time to grow, I dont mind. Too bad, dreaming...

Back to topic.
Nep spec.nov 'DA' detail didnt show much detail too.....

[Aliamyz]

Sadly LL plant don't tolerate HL conditions but some HL plants can tolerate LL conditions.

[jeff1u]

Hahaha Aliamyz
Your words are so encouraging!

Just hope some gene enginneering/scientist can make ALL HL/LL neps grow in any where in the world. That will be great. But who will waste that kind of time.
