Rich Sivertsen, one of the finest Nepenthes growers I have ever known,
had a _N. infundibuliformis_ (excuuuuuse me, but I can never get the
"y" in the right place to spell that other name, and "infundibuli-
formis" just sounds so much better ...) that did almost the same
thing. A lower pitcher tried to split into two, but didn't quite
make it. If I can find the slides I took that year, I'll try to get
a few pictures scanned and wwwebbed for y'all.
