Dominance for size in primary crosses
« Thread Started on Jan 6, 2008, 10:14am »
Here is the situation. This is a cross of N. ramispina crossed with truncata. N. ramispina is usually a small diminutive species in growth and pitchering overall. But when crossed with a hefty squat species such as truncata, this hybrid makes pitchers resembling a huge ramispina with size influence of truncata.

This plant grows outside under adverse heated conditions.

Robert,
Are you saying my hand is only 3 inches?
I need to photograph a tape measure next to this pitcher for scale.
But this plant just seems to out do itself with each new pitcher. The coloring of this plant is outstanding. I hope this flowers some day, as I am drooling over what could be crossed to it.
My candidates would include N. boschiana, N. maxima, N. sibuyanensis or sib hybrids, N. rafflesiana, to name a few.

Mike, for an approx length of the pitcher by taking the portion of the fingers as comparison. It's a wild guess

You're right, I can't see any truncata trait on the picthers. Kinda like gracilis when hybrid with other species. The offspring's picthers always look more like gracilis.
