Nepenthes veitchii x (burbidgeae x edwardsiana) BE 4053

The female parent is a lowland N. veitchii, originating from a clone donated in-vitro by a Germain friend in the 1990s. The exact location of the parent plant is not known, but it is suspected to be from the Mr Legaspi region of Mindanao. It bears BE Collection ID# 0242. The male parent is the lovely cross N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana and is of the same clone as used in other BE crosses.

All three parent species can be found in the vicinity of Mt. Kinabalu in Sabah, so it’s almost certain that at some point in the past several million years, that this cross existed naturally in the wild. Colors range from a beautiful lilac, to bronze or orange. The peristome may be flared, others may be more rolled back as the mature.

Since one parent is lowland and the other highland, BE has classified this item cross as ‘intermediate’ and expect it will grow in a wide range of temperatures. The plants are a random selection from many different clones out of microprop. Plants are grown in long fiber sphagnum moss with perlite, in 4 pots.
