Ok one last try : I am not trying to make a point, I was asking a question. If I understand correctly most of the plants in circulation are clones from the same original seed batch. I was just wondering why no one has tried to get more seed to have a greater diversity of plants? It just seemed to me to have only 18 plants to base a gene pool on is not much. I don't claim to know much about genetics so thats why I am asking.[b said:Quote[/b] (Ch'ien Lee @ Dec. 12 2003,18:56)] Also, AFAIK nearly all of the N. hamata plants being circulated in the US orginate at some point or other from the MT stock. These plants come from a single seed collection made in Central Sulawesi in 1996 and are composed of 18 different sibling clones. There was a small bit of variation in these clones, mostly in the length and density of the peristome teeth, but also somewhat in the coloration (one clone was nearly black both inside and outside the pitchers) and the extent of bristles on the lid.
