Subject: Nepenthes curtisii

A couple of months ago, I asked about the identity of Nepenthes
curtisii. Jan explained that it is a synonym of N. maxima, but several
people also said that at least one hybrid is floating around the U.S.
under that name. It was mentioned that the hybrid is probably N. maxima
x N. albomarginata.

I have finally taken some photos of my plant labeled "N. curtisii."
Upper pitchers only, I'm afraid. The plant originally came from Atlanta
Botanic Gardens. Does this look like the putative N. maxima x N.
albomarginata, or is it probably some other hybrid?

the picture is at: http://www.duke.edu/~nplummer/nepenthes2.html

cheers,
Nick
