> I agree that S. rubra vs. S. alata can be a problem. The typical "pencil"

Tom & all,

Doesn't S.alata have fuzz on it? The plants I has gotten
as S.alata are all fuzzy along most of the pitcher. It's the
only one which does this and it reminds me of the inside, top
part of mature Heliamphora pitchers, though it's less noticable
to the eyes, so it's better to use your hand.

P.S. S.alata looks nicer and is much sturdier than S.rubra,
though S.rubra wherrii (which I can't see as related to, say, S.
rubra jonesii) beats them both!
