Nepenthes Kotiga - ??? Ideas ???

[shawnintland]

Does anybody know anything about this hybrid? N. Kotiga seeds were recently offered for sale but I can't find any info on it at all!

Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn, I've never heard of this N. kotiga. Possible a man-made hybrid or a new unpublished nepenthes?

Sound like a Japanese hybrid. Maybe the Japanese society could help you.

Yep, pretty sure its a man-made hybrid. But no idea what the parents are.

Shawn,
Do you mean xGothica?Sibuyanensis x maxima?

Where did you find them for sale?

[plantlover]

Maybe its a misspelling of a known hybrid??

[Amelie.Poulain]

Shawn, Ali has a really good point there, the seller is out of which country?

I believe it is a misspelling.

It was a listing on e-bay - U.K. but that's only where it is being 'sold' not where its from. It appears to be coming from a grower here in Thailand.
Here's a look;

I think N. kotiga IS pidgin for N. xGothica!

Check this photo for comparison. That's definitely a xGothica being offered!

Check this link to the old forum, more proof that N. kotiga = N. x Gothica.

This seller is right out of Thailand, maybe you could check it out.
