Nepenthes jamban - introducing a new species

smile.gif
Here are some photos of Nepenthes jamban, a newly described highland species from Indonesia. Discovered by Ch'ien Lee, this amazing species is in cultivation now. So far it seems to be a vigorous and easy grower and also a prolific producer of pitchers, which is good news for everyone!

Appropriately, 'jamban' is the Indonesian word for 'toilet'

The shape reminds me of the old fashion round sinks. What does it's main prey seem to be?

That ought to be a hot seller once its available.

If its "easy" in cultivation, what would the requirements be?

The conditions we're growing it under are 25 deg. C day down to 13 deg C night (sorry, don't know the deg. f equivalent), RH over 70% and lots of light. Here's a photo I took this morning of the largest seedlings we have growing under those conditions:

Sweet! I love the pitcher shape. Its name is cool too.

I'm willing to bet that once this hits the market it'll cost a pretty penny.

Now that is one awesome plant! The pitchers are cool, the leaves are cool... That's one plant I'd like to grow before I die!

Ok, that's 77 F days and 55.4 F nights.

Sweet pitchers! Looks like it might be related to jacqu or platy.

Isn't that N. spec. nov. Sumatra that Wistuba has been selling for a while? If not, it looks extremely similar
 
  • #18
all i can say is i hope the scramble for this thing makes ppl forget about jacqu's and drops the price on them
smile_n_32.gif
much prefer Jeremiah's red jac to this one, though it is pretty cool

I would say they appear quite similar but there also appears to be noticeable differences. Primarily in the upper pitcher lid width. As well as peristome width and flatness.

Ooooh, i see now. Also, Wistuba's plant has a toothed peristome, while the jamban's peristome's lip is rolled under (if that makes sense).

Btw, when is your shop coming back? I need new neps!
