I have never heard of anyone having mapuluensis before. Must've been before my time. I mean, what the heck does it look like? I know it isn't commercially availible.
Unless saranganiensis is its own species and nobody has brought back live specimens, I think the only neps that nobody grows (private collections/botanical labs) are the ones we haven't discovered yet.
I believe Nepgrower correctly answered the question.
Mapuluensis is in cultivation.
As far as I know, N. treubiana, the species found growing on seaside limestone cliffs in westernmost New Guinea, is not in cultivation. Only until recently, N. sumatrana and treubiana were considered the same thing based upon Danser's conclusion from dry herbarium specimens. Today we know they are distinctly different. As far as I have seen, all plants marked treubiana are the "Sumatran Form", which we know is really N. sumatrana.
Anyone having the New Guinea form of treubiana, I'd be interested in hearing from you
I'm sure I've read somewhere that mollis may be an earlier name for hurrelliana, but as the original specimen of mollis is so poor (it doesn't have any pitchers) it's impossible to be sure. Certainly they're both from roughly the same area and both remarkably hairy.
Cheers,
T.
