Nepenthes vogelii Nepenthes All plants in cultivation owe

All plants in cultivation owe their lineage to a single mother plant (the type specimen) which was in bloom at the time of taxonomic collection

The first 3 photos show the pod and potential pollen parent

We find it reminiscent of Nepenthes villosa but much easier (a poor man’s villosa if you will)

This species was recently described and once was designated as “black truncata”

Nepenthes vogelii Nepenthes All plants in cultivation oweThis stunning intermediate species comes from the island of Borneo. The lower pitchers are handsome and elongated with deep purple markings. However, its real forte are the uppers which are funnel shaped with an iridescent striping alternating in shiny purple and lime or cream coloration. Its one of our favorites and is a vigorous grower. Weve grown it in our lowland, intermediate and highland greenhouse with success. The plants for sale are BE 3256.
