This plant was part of an open-pollinated breeding at Leilani Nepenthes Nursery. The actual parentage is unknown, though it is suspected to be Nepenthes boschiana x (spectabilis x veitchii) based on records of what was in bloom at the nursery at the time. When we received the first batch from LNN, the hybrid had a wide range of colors and patterns. We kept two particular plants in our collection: a red form (Clone A) and an orange form (Clone B).

Clone B has dark red mottling against a yellow-orange background. The peristome is wide with red and red-orange stripes. The leaves are leathery. Overall, the plant grows strongly and is tolerant of wide temperature swings.
