It's a weird burb. The petioles don't clasp, but lay flat. The leaves are also really round for burbidgeae. Possible hybrid?
I'll have to edit the back of the label then….
On the downside, the edwardsiana is dead. It rotted from the inside, despite thorough fungicide treatment.
I honestly think its pure burbidgeae, I remember seeing the leaves and it didnt look much different from a typical, plus it isnt peltate which rules out rajah.
Could be an introgression with fusca, especially if the leaves are more rounded off than they should be. Seems to be heavy on the burbidgea side though, maybe burbidgea x (burbidgea x fusca).
That's a possibility. Only time will truly tell. It's only 5 inches wide right now. It's certainly different from anything else I've ever seen. It's finally settled in and started growing again! The new leaf is unfurling really fast and in a bizarre manner.
Yes, please take photos of all of them. Sometimes burbidgeae will keep canaliculate petioles on the top few leaves, only for the petioles of the older leaves to fold and become the typical petiolate shape as they age.
Around what temperatures do you get in the tank? You seem to be able to grow a wide range of intermediate and highland Nepenthes very well.
Also, how is the N. x 'Dormouse' doing? It's one of my favorite hybrids and one I don't see often. I've wanted to get one for a while now, but the originator of the cross sold all of them.
Jimmy, now you can see why it's my favorite Nepenthes.
It gets down to 60 at night. I added an air stone this week and it's getting a little cooler and much more humid. Yay stability!
The Dormouse has made a basal offshoot, but it killed off an emerging shoot on the vine. Lucky for you, I just took a cutting of it last week. I'm hoping another node will activate soon. It's such a cool little hybrid!
I love your Nepenthes lavicola. What are the dimensions of the pot you are using for it? And did you have two plants originally or did you divide it into two?
