"old" Neps

[flytrap]

Hi all...

Now with the internet and all, one can easily google search for a species and locate a description and an image of a plant. Well, I've got a few plants I have no idea of what they are.

Decades ago, I purchased some Neps that had names I cannot locate, and if I do, they look nothing like the plants I have. Here are my old mystery Neps:

The following were bought as "species" back in the early 80's:

N insignis



N soneyii (also known as mutt #1 or leopard skin in my collection)




and the following... were purchased as hybrids, and I've long lost their id tags. They're all grown here in highland condition plants. Any help in identifying them would be most appreciated. Thanks!

N. "mutt #2"


N. "mutt #3"


N. "mutt #4"


N. xdreamy koto? aka N. mutt #5


N 'judith finn'?


N xcurtisii


I will take better photos of them later in the growing season to more clearly show some features (leaves, pitchers, flowers etc) and will post them here.

The plant thats marked as Judith Finn looks like it has Burbidgea in it. Maybe something like burbidgea x spathulata. Its a nice one for sure.

the first pic is insignis.
The one labeled "judith finn" is definitely not that.
The one labeled dreamy koto is that for sure.

Thanks for your help. It's like waking up to work every day, and not knowing the names of your kids

Dear Flytrap,


I think your mutt #2 is Nepenthes ramispina.

Also, your "N. curtisii" and "insignis" look just like a plant I have called N. albomarginata * N. maxima. A fanastic hybrid, in my opinion.

Well, you could give your un-named kids other names like Jeff, Lisa, Shakira...


Good growing,
Dave Evans

Mutt #1 looks like alata Luzon or some sort of alata. The last one can be a curtisii as can the first one.
