Complex Hybrids
« Thread Started on Dec 11, 2007, 1:44pm » This is N. (stenophylla x lowii) x (Rokko x veitchii)
It is interesting how the characteristics of each is represented in this seedling. Note the striped peristome reminiscent of veitchii and perhaps Rokko. The thick sturdy pitcher is definitely from lowii/Trusmadiensis and the growth pattern is definitely veitchii.


What do you see?

Other breeding candidates would be N. veitchii, thorelii, Dyeriana, and eymae

I made multiple cutting recently and some have taken quite well.
