When the Europeans stomped all over the Caribbean they took some pretty unlikely
plants with them, including members of the dock family which are supposedly
distantly related to Nepenthes. I would guess that the chances of say a Rumex
obtusifolius X Nepenthes alata hybrid being physically possible and self-fertile are
about as remote as some Triphyophyllums arriving as unexpected guests in a pot
of Drosera capensis, but can anyone say categorically that the chances are zero?
