Great trip photos! This is the first I've seen of the Thorellii growing in the sand like that. Amazing...and it looks so dry! I also hadn't suspected the smallish leafed stem, almost like a gracils. Seems like most have the reddish underside of the lid...is that what you found? Were the sites spread out far apart or all close together? Thanks again,
~Shawn |

Thanks guys for the comments.
Shawn, I only managed to scout a small area but been told there's even more if travel deeper into the bush. The sad thing is that the surrounding area is slowly but surely being converted to farm land for agriculture. |

In your photo amp 07 there is a lone big pitcher amongst the Amps, wonder how it got there.... mirabilis right?
Nice that you also saw natural hybrids! Didn't know that Gracilis pitchers grew that big! TTFN Arvin

Hi Arvin,
It's not uncommon to see different species of nep growing side by side of each other literally... |
