FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello fellow CP'ers

I have a couple of Mystery Nepenthes. These were given to me as cuttings. They were potted in LPS and they have since taken off and are producing pitchers that are quit stunning. The pitchers are purple-red with darker spots. I have attached a couple of photos; I hope they are good enough to identify them. These plants are over 3" in diameter.

It appears to be a Nepenthes gracilis, but nepenthes are not my specialty (well not yet ). Other people on the forum will be able to give you a definitive answer.

Nope, not gracilis.

Maybe xiphodes?

Thanks for the shot at the ID, Bananaman, I looked at N. xiphodes, and these pitchers do not have the same look. Thou the leaf structure looks similar.
Also, N. ventricosa x xiphodes, looks like it in shape, the wings are larger on mine, and the inside of the pitchers are deep red.

Hi,
That could be N.Gracilima red form. N.Gracilis has thinner leaves.
