Nepenthes eymae from Borneo Exotics

  • Thread starter Tanukimo
  • Start date
Is anyone here growing plants from the second release from Borneo Exotics (released around last year I think)? I know it is supposed to be the true species but has there been any confirmation of this?
 
I bought this cause I suppose BE dare not risk its reputation this time
 
Does i have upper pitchers yet?
 
There's no way they can absolutely guarantee it's pure unless they grow the plants to maturity before selling them, which is not going to happen. Only time will tell.
 
Bumping this for curiosity. I got one of BE's seedgrown new N. eymae (BE-3660) a while back and it's finally grown some. Seems like not many people bought these because they're not very extreme-looking but it's hard to judge such young plants, especially mine, which is probably on the smaller end of the size spectrum for the batch. I'm interested to see others' plants too.

It looks like BE is distributing eymae again under BE-3736, which is from the same grex as the seed-grown BE-3660.

It doesn't look too much like eymae to be honest.

The catalog picture for 3736 seems to have changed again recently (30 March 2018) - the full plant picture shows an individual close to making intermediates, and the flat angle of the mouth and tall neck look promising to me, but BE could have picked the most extreme plant to represent them instead of the average. Honestly the more I look at the plants, the more similar they seem to BE-3067, the old "clone 2" N. eymae/N. maxima Lumut, which I personally believe has some N. eymae introgression.

My 3660 hit the typical stage where N. maxima relatives usually start some big leaf jumps for me, hopefully I will get some mature pitchers soon.

BE-3067 for contrast

True N. eymae from Turnbull and Middleton IIRC
