Joseph did you try the CPphotofinder? its an EP hybrid so i dont see why you couldnt find anything
maxima dark x truncata...

IIRC, there's several "_____ Dragon" crosses, and they're all N. truncata hybrids, maybe. I think some of them are unknown though but "speculated" to be like such and such, in this case, apparently N. maxima x truncata.

Okay, I had only checked the Nepenthes grex registry. The CP Photo Finder describes it as an unofficial name as a possible hybrid between N. maxima (dark) x truncata = N. "Marbled Dragon". The CP Photo Finder lists it in double quotes because, as a name, it has no official status, no more than any nickname would.
Then perhaps the grex registry is not complete, as i see in EPs photo of the plant itself, that it is indeed in '___'
not sure if it was a typo on their part or what?

DETHCHEEZ,
Nepenthes "Marbled Dragon" is a nice looking plant, regardless of its name status.
Marbled Dragon May Not Be An Actual Registered Name
I see that a lot of the other "Dragon" plants from EP are registered
But I don't see Marbled on the list
Maybe there was some required info. or something missing for them to have it/the name officially registered?
