When it comes to all things clipeata, I will defer to Clue. As far as I'm concerned, he has more knowledge about this species than anyone else on this forum.
Once he gets home from school, he'll set us all straight on what's what with the Wistuba clones 2,3 & U.

Oh happy day! Apparently, now Andreas' clone 2 has a gender! It's a boy!
Now then, Andreas still only seems to have three clones running around this decade. 2, 3, and U. It's been known to the public that 3 is male for a few years. 2's gender has not been publicly known until now! U is still a mystery. Hopefully it's a female.
2: ♂
3: ♂
U:
I only have a U right now. It's not going to be flowering for a good five years, so hopefully in the meanwhile, someone can flower U (girl, please, GIRL!). BE should be releasing their two pure clones soon (that statement received from a reliable souce {Rumor!}).... again, I hope that they're girls!
Sadly, I only know of a few people in the world who own a female clipeata (Joachim Danz, Lay from Pitcher-plants), so the future of this species, sadly, if it is to continue, really depends on having these last three clones turn out to be female! Joachim's clipeata originated at the Munich Botanical Gardens, so it's not a TC clone.
Lay's was from a plant collector (or perhaps a better word.... POACHER!) who was selling it at a plant show IIRC.
Doug: Thanks for the compliment, but I think that a few people probably do know more.
Speaking of clipeata, I'm currently trying HARD to get most of the clones I can get my hands on....
