Before there was a Nepenthes hamata or a N. jacquelinae, THIS was the big dog on the epiphyte block:
Very light-colored version of a very beautiful plant.
Pitcher opened about 10 days ago, exactly 20 cm tall.
This plant offset when quite small, so it has two good rosettes. The tendril pictured is 49 cm long. Plant is generating two new pitchers at this point.
Question for the various oracles on the forum: how big do N. burbidgeae lowers actually get in cultivation? The lit says 20 cm for wild plants, but Geoff Mansell posted a pic on his website a while back that suggested something more like 35 cm was possible.
Enjoy,
SJ
