I think this came originally from Borneo Exotics. Does anyone know where in Borneo this came from? Or is it a horticultural cross? The pitchers and particularly the lid, look more or less fusca like to me but the leaves are quite different. Anyone know of a population of fusca that has leaves like this? It is a slow grower and still a petite plant for me. Still growing in a 3" pot after several years. The newest pitcher is about 3" tall I had been wondering if it got its flared peristome from some distant veitchii or perhaps hurrelliana relative. It isn't particularly hirsute like either of those species however. As it is maturing, the tendril attachment is becoming more clipeata like.

Rich, That clone is the only known form from BE and no where else. I am not sure where this is from exactly but since this is a tc clone it's going to be around for a long time. I'm a bit surprised that it is still in a small pot since this is a fast grower and almost hybrid-like in its ability to outgrow containers and hanging baskets for me. This form likes a lot of light and find it best growing as a hanging basket specimen just under the shade cloth if you can grow them out doors. Mine likes to grow in a coarse gritty mix and get good air circulation. I'm curious where this is from as well since it doesn't resemble the leaves of anything else out there.
