BE-3029 N. bicalcarata ‘Brunei orange’ – selected clone
This is arguably the most distinctive and classic of all the lowland species – in our opinion, no other species comes close. It’s famous for its upper pair of peristome ribs, which are hugely elongated, giving the appearance of fangs connected to the back of the pitcher lid. Sometimes nectar can be seen secreted from the tips of these fangs, which are used by the plant to attract termites, which are its favourite nocturnal prey. Its natural habitat is the steamy kerangas forests and peat swamps of Borneo.
The lower pitchers differ from those of BE-3031, in that this item has an orange flush on a yellow background, whereas BE-3031 has a red flush on an orange background.
History: First introduced in about 2008.
