Subject: Nepenthes- unusual trap production

Hey all,

I have an unusual situation that involves several different Neps. Instead
of producing a trap at the end of the tendril, I have a few leaves on
plants that are producing an elongated tendril that terminates in a spray
of 4-6 finely divided hairs. This has recently happened to two or three
Neps, different species in different growing conditions. Anyone seen this
before?

Tom in Fl.
