Agristarts has a long line of discontinued plants, including the truncata. They used to produce most of the merrillianas that were available a few years back, from material they got from John de Kanel. They also did gracilis for a while, as well as Sarracenia leuco Titan (for Botanique), red tube flavas, Nepenthes ampullaria... When plants don't sell as well as expected, they discontinue. I agree with the theory that this is better for the genetics of the plants in general, for those who propagate, but let's not forget one of the underlying benefits of tissue culture. It helps alleviate some of the poaching that takes place in the wild. If a minor amount of culturing fulfills our needs, then we're less likely to buy plants from someone pulling the plants from the jungles. There are othern TCers in Malaysia, but the plant will most likely be a bit more difficult to get. Some of the better known retailers of the plant here in the U.S. already list the plant as "discontinued" or 'Not available'.
