More correctly, this item is N. (lowii x macrophylla) x burbidgeae. If you know Nepenthes, you will realise just how extremely special this hybrid is! In a similar way to BE-3902, this hybrid compounds three of the most iconic species from Sabah and has the potential to be extremely large and spectacular in every way. Also, as all three of the parent species grow in reasonably close proximity in Sabah, it’s very likely that this hybrid will have existed naturally at some point in the past.
Random selection from a very large number of different clones out of microprop.
"History: First introduced through the wholesale auctions in April 2021. A total of only 44 seed-grown plants from the same grex of seeds was released on the auctions between March and Sept 2020 under BE-3905. The difference between BE-3906 and this item, is that although this item is from the same grex of seeds, it is from a really huge number of clones out of microprop. These plants will be similar to the seed-grown plants released under BE-3906 as so many clones are involved, except that for this item, the supply will eventually be sustainable. Hence, we have issued a new BE-code for it.
Description: The female parent is N x trusmadiensis (N. macrophylla x lowii), raised from seed in our nurseries and the male parent is a seed-grown N. burbidgeae with our Collection ID# 0749.
We love making hybrids that are either recorded from the wild as natural hybrids or will have probably existed as natural hybrids at some point in the past. This is a good example of the latter, because all three component species can be found on two adjacent mountains in Sabah, so it’s almost certain that at some point in the past several million years, that this cross existed naturally in the wild.
