Title says it all, but there's an added bonus!
wow.gif

If you name a plant correctly, I'll trade you a cutting when the plant gets older!!
smile.gif


Rules:

1) You get one and ONLY ONE guess per plant!

2) Newbie ppl get the first chance to guess i.e. there has to be at least 5 guesses from newbies before the not-so-newbies can guess.

3) You can ask me to try to take a better picture of the pitcher in question if you want.

4) There is no limit to how many correct guesses you can make i.e. someone can get all 6 right, and hence 6 reservations of the 6 cuttings to be made.

Conditions:

1) I hold the right to determine when I want to make cuttings of the plants.

2) I can refuse to make a cutting for someone if I feel that s/he does not deserve it (this is at my discretion).


<span style='color:blue'>Hints:</span>

1) All of the pitchers are from Lowland Neps.

2) 2 of the plants are sort of rare in cultivation (AFAIK).


And before someone yells "I'll just guess from what he has on his grow list," please be aware that I've erased my growlist from both GW and PFT, so please, don't even bother to look.

Also, I know that it's close to impossible to identify a few of the plants with such small pitchers, but that's what makes this so interesting!!

EDIT: Actually greg, you can't guess since you probably know which the plants are (I think I've told you a million times by now about one of the plants!
wow.gif
). I promise I'll make it up to you.

Good Luck to everyone!!  Jœl

tounge.gif
Must ID.. uh

#2 Macrovulgaris
#6 Thorelii

I know these are wild in the dark, but it's all I got left
 
  • #32
Could #4 be northiana? I remember seing a nepenthes like that, but I just can't remember what it was called. I'm probably wrong

HEHEHE  
wink.gif


To help out a little, the correctly identified neps are #1 (N ampullaria 'spotted' ), #4 (N northiana), and #6 (N bellii).

That leaves 2, 3 and 5 ripe for the picking!

Here are 2 more hints:
- 2 of the remaining plants are not found on any of the major islands of the Malesian region.
- the final plant in endemic to only one of the major islands in the Malesian region

I can try to take a better picture of the pitchers if someone thinks it will help...

EDIT: One last thing, everyone can guess on the last 3 since they're a tad bit hard!
