Subject: N.lowii photo

Dear Fellow-CP'ers,
    I have photos of
(a) a $5 Brunei currency note showing N. lowii
    (on the note itself it is given as Somboi
     somboi, probably its native name);
(b) Malayan stamps showing Nepenthes lowii, rajah,
    sanguinea, and macfarlanei;
(c) Malaysian $20 currency note showing
    N.rafflesiana.

  Would someone who has a CP website
showing Nepenthes photos like to have the above on
his/her website as well?

   I also have photos of the natural hybrid
(N. rafflesiana x N. gracilis). Although
N. rafflesiana and N. gracilis are common here in
Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, the natural
hybrid itself is not. [There are no photos of it
in the following books:
 Nepenthes of Borneo (Clarke)
 Pitcher Plants of Borneo (Phillipps & Lamb)
 Pitcher Plants of Malaya and Singapore (Shivas)
 Nepenthes of Mount Kinabalu (Kurata)]

Happy CP'ing to all,
                      TAN Wee Kiat from Singapore
