Dave, I've had N. thorellii in flower and they did produce prehensile tendrils.

Hello Rich and Ron,
The server is down, Thomas is working a better ISP. My Rutgers ISP, RCI, is much more stable, but Thomas cannot post his photos there, of course. I'll edit this message and remove this line later on.
Rich, if the plant you had as "N. thorelii" actually was/is N. thorelii that would be great, since it would seem to indicate less relation between N. t. and N. anamensis, which many folks have seen, but not noticed coiling tendrils present.

Hi Rich,
Is there any way you can post some photos of the species in question? Dave and I have been talking about thorelii lately, and it seems unlikely that everything called thorelli is in fact thorelii.

I had three distinctly different forms of N. thorelii I got from Japanese growers way back in the early '80's, which grew like a weeds, and had some subtle differences since they were collected from different regions. I grew them for about 5 years, and then gave them away to Longwood Gardens and other private collectors, unfortunately, Longwood lost them all, and everyone I sent them to, also lost them over the years.
In retrospect, they may have been three different species from the area, although the petioles, and leaf blades were very similar, obviously closely related plants; one was this short, squat red form; the other two were mostly green, w/ red stripes and speckling, one had some short and fine pubescence on the stem and leaf margins.
