Awesome hibrid idea!

I think miranda is (maxima x northiana) x maxima. I don't know if this is the order they were crossed in.

For a discussion about the likely parents of N. "Miranda", see the thread at

In addition, you can find 73 links to photos of N. "Miranda" at

Just a note..

Man made hybrids and registered cultivars would be Nepenthes Miranda - the first letter of the second word is caps.

Species would be lowercase. Nepenthes hamata

Then you have the few natural hybrids that were accidently described as species. Nepenthes x trichocarpa Some people use the x in a manmade hybrid N. x Tiveyi but still keep the second word with a cap. It makes it easier to denote something as a hybrid vs species.

Interesting, i don't know why they decided on that. I guess it will be helpful in the future when trying to decipher if a plant is a hybrid or not.
