Quote[/b] (SydneyNeps @ Mar. 12 2006,11:47)]I really adore tentaculata for its simple grace and incredible diversity - there are just so many different forms of it, growing from lowland altitudes to villosa levels.

I agree!!!  After seeing a picture in Charles Clarke's book of a mass of tentaculata, the all green form, growing carpeting a bed of moss, i am on a hunt for one of these plants now!!!

That would be correct.

IN regards to the photos....fabulous. No doubt 2 thumbs up the best pics I've seen in a long time of wild Nepenthes. The N. hurreliana and N. burbidgeae photos are lovely. As well as the upper N. lowii photos.

why is one of the lowii uppers are not as constricted? i know its not ephippiata because it doesnt have a large lid, but then lid also looks very small....

Greetings all. Thought I'd make an appearance. These pictures were taken on a recent Jungle Geeks excursion. While their trips are not for the tourbus traveller they certainly deliver on their promise to show you good places to see Nepenthes in the wild. Thanks for all the kind words. Here are some comments and answers to your questions.

SydneyNeps - I also love some of the less showy Nepenthes like tentaculata and I'm pleased to see others appreciate them too. I found it hard to get good photographs of it as it often scrambles around and through other plants. While I think murudensis and tentaculata should be different species, it was sometimes hard to tell the difference in young plants and if there were hybrids it would be hard to tell because, as you point out, tentaculata can be quite variable.

Rajah - yes that is Drosera spathulata

rbjong - I've also very much appreciated your photos of Nepenthes in the wild although I don't actually post often. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do the Meilau trail so the pictures from Kinabalu National Park are either from the main trail or Marai Parai.

Jason Wong - Three mountains and two hills. Kinabalu (main trail and Marai Parai), Trus Madi, and Murud were the mountains, a hill near Murud and a hill near Lawas.

The Griffin - Hi Joe. Yep, these are the same pictures though there might be a few different ones depending on my mood when I made your respective disks.

FedeAbra - Yes it is hurrelliana

glider14 - Yes it is x Trusmadiensis.

Cheers, Rich

Jeremiah and Rich,
We were late seeing the pics. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing. We like them all, but the hurrelliana peristomes are truly fantastic. The necks are as long as the pitchers!
We also liked the ground scrambling veitchii. They remind me alot of the form found near Bareo. Where was that?

Jeremiah and Rich,
wonderful pics! it makes so strange to see all those beauties in nature!
Could you send me some lowii and reinwardtiana pics in high resolution to my gmail address? Here it is : agarulez@gmail.com
Thanks!

If you would put the whole collection on a CD or two, I'll volunteer to make copies for whoever wants them.
