New species found N. spec. nov ‘DA’

psh...new species? Thats just another form of alata
(jk obviously)
 
Holy Crap!!! I want it... (my precious)... haha, jk... It is absolutely GORGEOUS though. And RIVALS rajah? Keep us posted if you hear about distribution or any natural hybrids, JLAP.
 
Very nice find. How exciting would that be to stumble across something like that on a hike! Looks like it's got enough digestive juices to go around!

xvart.
 
And best of all it's a real discovery and not some lame hybrid like the most recent ones, or another form of N. alata as phission as noted as well.



"Nepenthes sharifah-hapsahii " my foot! What a disgrace.
 
Hmm...looks similar to all the recent discoveries...almost like Jamban?
 
in terms of recent discoveries, there is lingulata which people seem to have forgotten about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was also a "real" discovery
 
Looks like it was related to N. burbidgeae eons ago...

I know where to get it, but you more or less have to be Rockefeller to purchase it

Wow!

Another toilet bowl species as it looks.

Is it highlander or lowlander?

If Highlander, I want it!

N. rajah, step down from the plate.

wow!! when i first saw it it reminded me of a campy! its very neat looking!

I thought the same thing, Glider14, lol. It looked like somebody put a spout in a campy and blew it larger.
They do not say which area(do not blame them) it was found and the Meeks offered a opinion on which mountain.
I am an idiot and could not post a photo, but has anyone looked at this plant from Wistuba's site?

Nepenthes spec. Palawan 1 (Philippines)

It almost looks like a young version of what they found.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Do you really think so? I don't think it resembles it at all and resembles a skinny N. rajah more.

I don't think they resemble each other at all.

Oh I was talking about the similarities between N. rajah and spec. Palawan, not the similarities between spec. nov "DA" and spec. nov Palawan.
 
  • #17
