Others are now calling this plant "D. sp. (Magliesburg)" according to
Thomas Johnson. I admit it's very doubtful that the plant is really
D. madagascariensis as it's apparant it will never produce a
caulescent (vertical) stem. I still think its different than D. collinsiae
though.

I have one of these too. I gave one to Robert Allen a few months ago.
It looks a little like the D. cuneifolia that used to be called
"D. admirabilis". Both have wedge-shaped triangular leaves but the "undulata"
leaves look a little wider at the tips to me. Neither has flowered yet.

There's a photo of P. agnata in flower in Kondo's book. In this picture,
the petals are white with a purple 'ring' just inside the flower. The purple
color concentrates into blotches at the points where the petals meet and fuse
together. The shape of the petals are more-or-less uniform without a
distinct 'lip' like P. moranensis has.
I have P. moranensis 'G' I grew from a leaf cutting. It's beginning to send
up a flower after only 3 months.

I had one but mine didn't make it. It just sat for about a year, then
croaked. I have another red-spotted form of N. ampullaria that's doing
great. Pitchers are about thumb-tip size and there's two growths. I cut
the main stem last year and divided it to make six cuttings. Four rooted
and two died. I already gave the four away. There may be more in a couple
years when the lower leaves on the two growths start dying. That's how
long it took for the first stem to grow to that point. I'll cut the two
growths completely off same as before and there should be twice as many
cuttings to go around this time.
