N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana

[kltower]

Some of you may have already own this beauty. And since YG has grown them to marketable size, you will likely to see more of them in the market soon. These plants should be 6 - 8 inch big.

There is a craving for these plants overseas because of the edwardsiana perentage.

All the plants that are in the market come from one single MT clone. This is what Chien Lee had to say about this plant:

Hi Tony,

Yes, that's right. *From a large batch of seed collected from N. burbidgeae, only a single tissue cultured seedling turned out to be this hybrid. *It was initially sown in 1997, but was slow to propagate at first and then sold as N. burbidgeae (along with other true seedlings) until larger plants developed and it was revealed to be a hybrid. *It's probable parentage was determined by the obvious characteristics of N. edwardsiana and the fact that the two species were growing in near proximity in the wild.

It is interesting to see that growers have noticed so much variation within a single clone. *Whilst somatic mutation during tissue culture division is not impossible, I think it is far more likely that there are many environmental factors that contribute to the appearance of a pitcher as it develops.

Best regards,
Ch'ien

I picked up three of them a while back because it seemed to me I had not seen them anywhere else! I'll have to take a look and if they are coming along I'll snap some pictures. Thanks for the info, I hadn't had time to research it yet.

Jeff,

If you can't get it locally and won't be in Cameron Highlands in the near future, try Fauzi. Fauzi will be getting the plants from YG. He can ship to Singapore. Just have the plant sleep with you in your air-cond room.

Contact Fauzi at: fauzi_4zeplant@yahoo.com

I spoke to him yesterday, and he will be getting the stock from YG Park. Fauzi has experience exporting plants overseas with the relevant documents - Export license, CITES and Phytosanitary certificate.

Nice plant.

hi all,

2months ago, I did brought this hybrid from one of the store at CH for around RM25(L size) together with N.menarik - RM18(L size).

Since then, the plant has been doing well within +/-25dc with high humidity and is producing 3rd leaf now.

Unfortunately, the new leave is smaller but healthy.
