Hi Charles,
I this mail and kept it in mind. I think you're right.
The phyllodia, while longer and straighter than S.oreophila,
do curl back more than S.flava but since only these two produce
phyllodia, besides S.lueco and that would be hard to miss, it
appears you are right on the money!
These reddish marks on the inside of the petals threw me though.
That's why I though I was dealing with some S.rubra in there.
Who knows, maybe it really is S.flava * (S.oreophila * S.rubra)
But I doubt the rubra when considering the phyllodia, which come in
strong during the fall, much more abrupt of a change than what I see
in pure flava (which is a gradual change from pitcher to phyllodia),
and just like the S.oreo it grows next to. Also, I've seen some
orange marks on some other flava petals this year, so I guess it
would be easy for some of them to have redder marks than that.
So it's now labelled S.oreophila * S.flava in my collection.
BTW, like you say: it's a real beauty!
