Another good reason to make the trek to hear Stewart speak in VA. In Phil's last PM to me, he thought it would likely be held May 1st.

edit: some more info & pics. Evidently this is the 1st of 2 newly discovered species from this area. In addition, he mentions how the prior discovery helped conservation efforts in the area & actually closed down a nickel mine.

Wow, I love it. That's so great it's helping to spark local conservation too. 1st of 2? What is the second?

 

[Zero]

Very nice.
I wonder if it's in cultivation yet?

 

[RL7836]

1st of 2? What is the second?

He mentions a 2nd was discovered but stops there with that tidbit....

I am currently in the Philippines and just returned from two spectacular peaks in Palawan.

On the summits of these mountains, I encountered two new Nepenthes species.

Here is the first - a truly spectacular plant and one of the biggest in the genus.

It was mentioned in another post.

the second was this one:

a species that looks incredibly close to N. mira.

 

[Ngantnier]

Amazing!

I don't think that one will fit in the GH.

 

[petmantis]

I don't think that one will fit in the GH.

You don't say....

Oh well, time for a new GH!
