An exciting hybrid combining 3 distinctive Nepenthes species!
|
From An Abridged History of Nepenthes by Harry Veitch, 1906: "Tivey's first hybrid, Nepenthes x mixta, was from two beautiful species, N. northiana and N. curtisii, the latter the pollen parent. As might be expected N. x mixta is a fine cross, with pitchers 1 ft. or more in length, of a cream-yellow colour suffused with red and blotched as is N. northiana. The wings shallow, are deeply laciniated; the ribs, which form the mouth of the pitcher, of a rich shining crimson. It was distributed in 1893."
