I looked at some other pics on EP and it looks like N ventricosa x (truncata x mindanaoensis), but the tag in the pot looks more like N. truncata x (ventricosa x mindanaoensis). Wonder which one is right?
So I think either the tag is wrong or the pictures are labelled wrong. Interesting to note the differences between very similar hybrids. I guess the question could be answered by noting which one looks more ventricosa and which one looks more truncata. Of course the actual variation in the seedlings may be more diverse than these two pictures anyway, so unless you get that clone, who knows what you'll end up with.
According to the website where I found the pic., the plant is N. truncata x (ventricosa x trusmadiensis). It was awarded "Best Hybrid Nepenthes" in the VCPS 2004 Show.
Like Steve said, it can be hard to pin this down. Especially since this is a complex hybrid, with 4 species involved.
I apologize for the error above...must have "trusmadiensis on the brain".
The parentage according to the VCPS page is N. truncata x (ventricosa x minandaoensis).
Well, I'm still not sure. I would think that the people selling the cross would have the picture labelled correctly, but could have mistakenly sent the wrong stake or ... so the people receiving the plant would just assume it was labelled correctly. The dark pitcher looks more like ventricosa is dominant and the other one looks more like truncata is dominant. What do you think? I think I've already put too much thought into a plant I'm not likely to find on the market.
