kev, I have 2 of these unknown hybrids, largest one stands a meter of the ground, and has 20cm pitcher, got this Monday, the one I added for photos comes from same supplier but someone else bought it and had it when I bought my new plants on Monday he said I can take it, because it is taking to much space, I also have a N. veitchii pink, a N. miranda, and 3 other unidentified plants, they are not pitchering yet. But I hope they will soon, the one unidentified is going to flower, add me on facebook if you want to view some of my other plants, have not added those I got monday  |

Hey Andries, you will most likely not find the name of this particular Hybrid anywhere. I have had my eye out for three years and not seen anything close.

Peter, could you perhaps tell what the parents where, or atleast one of the?

It looks very familiar but it could be one of a hundred combinations.
It might help if you knew the age or where it came from (Japan, USA, ...?). When was the original plant acquired by the Garden?

It is practically impossible to track the parentage of this plant. When I originally purchased it, the vendor argued with me adamantly that it was a "Special Orchid" called Nepenthusus.
It has probably been in SA for ten years or more.
What I can tell you, is that this plant is one tough customer. It grows like a weed in summer with high temperatures, does not sulk in winter and needs very little humidity. I actually grew a few in my garden in full sun, and they thrived!
