What are they? I know of gracilis, bical, raff, gynamphora...what others have I missed? I feel like a nerd but I need a list of them.
Barry, if you read this, where is that pic of the black gymnamphora from? (on galleria carnivora)
Man I'd love to get one of those some day...

I'm not sure what his source was. Probably ultimately Borneo Exotics? |

Rob Cantley introduced N. rafflesiana var. nigro-purpurea into cultivation during the early-mid 1980's when he was in Brunei and his place was called ISRA Nurseries, which was an unusually deep almost black-purple color on the lower pitchers.

I was unaware that a "nigro-purpurea" form was ascribed to a N. gymnamphora! Years ago, I got some N. gymnamphora seed and noticed that a few seedlings came up very dark red, even the very first pitcher, right out of the cotyledons, all, dark red. They later tuned outt o be hybrids into N. carunculata, and was informed that the seeds were in fact collected within the same site as N. carunculata; curious to note that the hybrids were even darker red than N. carunc. although the N. gymnamphora were nearly all green!

Apparently in my first post, I missed truncata and sanguinea. I also just found out today that there is a black form of neoguineensis. Maybe something interesting will turn up in the batch of seed I just got (probably not, but hey, fingers crossed)

Maybe something interesting will turn up in the batch of seed I just got (probably not, but hey, fingers crossed) I had a batch of N. neoguineensis from the late 1990's that had very dark to black lower pitchers. I've also seen them a dark maroon color. Apparantly the green coloration is the most typical, but I lucked out by getting the color forms. |
