In addition to the discussion around Nepenthes burkei I will try to
publish a photo of a N.burkei in my homepage, which I took ten years ago
at the herbarium of Tokio University. The herbarium-material is from the
Philippine National Herbarium. I was lucky to discuss with Mr. Kurata
about this specie there. The main difference to N. ventricosa are the
oblique mouth of N.burkei (N.ventricosa has almoust a horizontal mouth),
the strongly contracted pitcher of N.ventricosa and the different
nectar-glands under the peristom and lid.
But you should be carfully as there are a few hybrids between
N.ventricosa and N.alata, which were sold for N.burkei. Also the color
is (though not so good) characteristic for the species: the pitchers of
N. ventricosa is mainly yellowish-green outside, inside in the upper
part red. N.burkei is orange-brown with light red stripes outside.
I will inform you, when the photos are ready!
