Default Nepenthes gracilis? Or nep........???

Hey, guys, went to New Trio Nursery and bought this fellow. I am not convinced that this is gracilis because of the peristome and the size of the lower pitchers. Its confusing.


The BIG and nice peristome


The whole plant


Any help, guys? Thanks

Cheers

Hey, johnathan......thanks for the comment. New Trio got lots of this guy.....only RM25! I got mine for RM 20.......hehehe. I repotted it in a mix of LFS, peat moss and perlite. Accidently ripped of a basal shoot during the transplanting process.......but i am sure that it will grow back.

Hmmmm.......ventrata? OK....it shall be named ventros........

Cheers

Aliam,

Interesting, actually from what I understand Ventrata is Ventricosa X Alata only, now what you said is interesting wonder if there is actually such a hybrid (probably there is) Alata X Ventrata (Alta x Ventricosa) anyone have picture please share, and also the hybrid name if there is.

TTFN
Arvin
