N. talengensis

  • Thread starter neps

Here's a shot of N. talengensis. This specimen is not yet
fully grown, but is beginning to show the characteristics of a
mature plant. This species is very slow-growing, and does not
seem very tolerant of any but true highland conditions.

Very N. aristolochioidean!

That's easy for you to say!

Actually, I don't think it looks much like N. aristolochioides
at all!
 
The color pattern and color of the peristome looks similar to my N. aristos pitchers when viewed from such an angle which is what I was reffering to (of course the aristo pitcher shape is more globular).
 
Did anyone else get the ecard from Andreas Wistuba of N. tenuis?
If you thin the peristome and add some slight wings to N. tenuis, it sort of has a slight resemblance to N. talengensis.
A year in a new house and I still have not found a lot of my cp stuff(we moved into a half-furnished house-lots of excess piles, as a result), so I can't remember if the two are closely related.

Regards,

Joe
 
According to C. Clarke's Neps of Sumatra, N. aristolochioides is the nearest relative to N. talangensis. I think a taxonomic grouping should be proposed to comprise these 4 similar species.
