Ivan again:
Glad you brought this up. Yes, the taxonomy for Heliamphora of that
region seems indeed confusing with the extreme variation witnessed. I saw
their video documentary, very puzzling. At least several more variatal
forms must be described. I hope they are working on this and that we hear
more about it. In addition, they did also find H. minor.
Whatever the case of my plant's identity, I feel certain that it better
suited to cultivation.

Ivan again:
No I did not. My cultivation method is a case of survival of the fitest.
