Our resident Nepenthes grower, Sean Springfield, bred this hybrid. He chose a clone of Nepenthes boschiana with darkly mottled, elongated pitchers and the Bario form of Nepenthes veitchii, known for its tubby pitchers and flared, striped peristomes. From his seed batch, he selected the most vigorous and eye-catching plant for our collection.
