an idea !!!

[jeff]

can you give me your opinion on the nature of this heliamphora, natural taxon, or hybrid

Nice, what fern is that in background?

 

[jeff]

I don't know

 

[Raymond Chong]

May be some kind of ciliata cross?

 

[Avery]

Reminds me of pulchella but tough to say. Looks like the plant could use a bit more light.

 

[jeff]

if we compare the nectar spoon on ciliata (to the right) and my taxon, I don't see any hairs on this one

for pulchella it could be one, but normally the nectar spoon is grafted directly on the edge of the pitcher, there it seems to me that it is a little detached

anyway thank you for your help

[Avery]

It depends. There are lots of different pulchella clones. I have one from Akopan Tepui that resembles the plant above with the detached nectar spoons, although mine is grown in brighter conditions.

Maybe some of our resident Heliologists will step forward?

 

[jeff]

I had also thought of what an H.sp "Akopan Tepui" called ,to see then

 

[Avery]

Nothing about it really suggests “Sp Akopan” to me… the downward internal pitcher hairs look like pulchella, and the Akopan location does have a little “spur” on the nectar spoon. I think the plant above is grown in low lighting so the nectar spoon isn’t very well developed.

H. pulchella “Akopan Tepui”:

 

[jeff]

this one actually looks like him.
