It's not quite a miranda. The roof is higher up and the peristome doesnt have those little points. But it is most likely a hybrid anyway haha.

An unmature plant develops a pitcher that is a bit different from a mature plant. Same as ampullaria, a young ampullaria plant develops a longer pitcher with unreflexed lid..
Zak, what character of the pitcher makes u think its a hybrid?

Oh it looks like a mature one there haha. Well don't quote me on if it's a hybrid or not~ but I'm just guessing it's a hybrid coz it looks like miranda but not. But not sure la. I suck at IDing haha.

From what can be seen from the photo - it could be a N. xmiranda or N.fusca x N.maxima because currently there are a lot of N.fusca x N.maxima in the market. You can do a simple check on the plant itself. N.xmiranda will have a rould peristome lid while N.fusca x N.maxima will have a triangular lid (N.fusca characteristic) Normally ifyou compare between this two hybrids - N.xmiranda will produce a bigger pitcher (most probably due to the N.northiana gene). The other thing - while the pitcher of N.fusca x N.maxima is developing, the lower part of the pitcher seems to be dented. These are the characteristics that I have seen from my observation of the two hybrids.

These are the characteristics that I have seen from my observation of the two hybrids. I checked the peristomes, they are triangular, most of the pitchers are sorta dented (one of them pop right out back while I was watering them this morning), but not sure it's natural or it happened during transportation. The pitchers are currently about 4-5" in height. |
