BE-4087. The female parent is the Bario form of N. veitchii, which is a highland variety and this particular parent has a green pitcher body with rust-red peristome. The male parent is the ‘Sungai Samba’ form of the species, which is a lowland variety and it also has a green pitcher body with rust-red peristome.

This is the first time we have crossed a highland form of N. veitchii with a lowland form. We created this item because we expect these plants to be more temperature tolerant than either parent forms and therefore we have classified it as ‘intermediate’.

Since there are a large number of different clones involved with this item and we haven’t grown them all out yet, we cannot be certain of the appearance. However, given what we have seen so far and the fact that both parent plants have similar colorations, we do expect that most, if not all clones in this item will have green pitcher bodies with either green or rust-red peristomes.
