I've seen uppers of boschiana in person a couple times, though my own plant is not producing them. The uppers I've seen were much thicker, had a thicker/slightly different peristome, and were probably 10" tall. I can't remember, but I think the peristome was also colored as well?

Veitchii x hurrelliana probably has little to no hurrelliana in it. Sorry to be a party pooper.

Looks fine to me. Clipeata is the only Nepenthes which makes 3 kinds of leaves. Cotyledons, juvenile leaves (in the above photo), and adult leaves, which are round. Mine didn't produce round leaves until it was about 6" across.

Is this one of your "naturalized" plants, or is it just at the edge of a normal grow area?

Now that's what I call a taproot

Wow Longor!
Thanks a million for posting this! When I looked at the first couple pics, the pitchers do indeed resemble neoguineensis. Man I wish this species wasn't literally impossible to obtain, I just love how.
Anyway, thanks for sharing more photos of it. Those are hard enough to find as well.

Dave,
I thought you had made a case for them being the same species either on ICPS or in an email to me a while ago? If you didn't, I apologize, and retract my statement!

Nope. I just left mine where it was, and after 2 or 3 goofy pitchers, it got its act together. I think it is from too much humidity fluctuation.

Yeah just spray the leaves, and underneath them too. Since it is a sulfur based fungicide, I would flush the pot afterwards. Sulfur is commonly used to make soil more acidic.

Regardless of if it is rust of a spot fungus, a normal broad spectrum fungicide should do the trick. I'd hit it with something with whatever the recommended dose is. You should do it as soon as possible as well. When summer rolls around and it is hot in your chamber, it will further weaken the plant's immune system. If something like that is already present, then you might have to bid the plant bye bye.

Mine finally reverted. Only spit out two goofy pitchers like this, and now it is making normal-looking ones.

That's a very good point.
I had been wondering about this, since I heard from many people how the leaves should be lanceolate, like ventricosa. However, I have never seen an insignis in person besides my seedlings. Also, they're still very small (3/4"). Perhaps they will conform more once they get older....or they wont lol. I personally don't mind what they are, as long as they look cool. Good to know they grow alone though, thanks for your help.
