Nepenthes zakariana ‘Mamut’ Potted

This plant was formerly sold as Nepenthes fusca “flared peristome” but has since been reclassified.  More specifically; it was formerly classified as Nepenthes fusca ‘Sarawak’, the taxonomy has been recently revised and split into two morphologically different classifications. The form from Sabah is now classified as Nepenthes zakariana and the form from Sarawak is now Nepenthes dactylifera.

The pitchers are usually very narrow like a test tube with lots of dark spotting.  This clone boasts a very flared peristome, so it should be a real stunner when it grow out.

These are from a single clone in tissue culture, BE-3068.
