Nepenthes alisaputrana BE-4612

Description

This is a stunning and enormous natural hybrid. This natural hybrid was discovered in habitat near Pig Hill, just outside the Kinabalu National Park by Rob Cantley around 1985. To this day it remains the largest and possibly the most spectacular hybrid Nepenthes that Rob – or perhaps anyone – has ever seen. Only one plant was found, and the pitchers were HUGE! The largest of the pitchers found that memorable day and shown in the photos here, was shipped to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, where it monopolized press attention, even appearing on National evening news. It was certainly instrumental in helping Adrian Slack of Marston Exotics.

Please note: The photos are representatives of S plants. Single clone.
