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

Aliamyz,

N. xventrata is alata x vintricosa and not (alata x (ventricosa x alata). The "x" infront of "ventrata" indicates that it is a hybrid.

And the picture that edward post is xventrata, ie. alata x ventricosa. I have a very reliable source to confirm this.

Also Edawrd,

xventratas will loose it's beautiful reddish colours on the pitchers when grown in lowland conditions after a while. Not only that the pitchers will get smaller a little. These plants are grown in the highlands and has been brought down to the nursery where you bought it quite recently. That's why it is reddish but it would be more reddish if it is new stocks from the highland. You can see on the right side of the picture. The newest pitcher has a slight greenish bottom and smaller as it grew in lowland conditions.
