Nepenthes alata (Cultivated)

Nepenthes alata Blanco, Fl. Filip. 805 1837.;

Seen at a plant nursery in Nasik on 20th Oct,15.

This was the first time I came across a Pitcher Plant.

Requesting help in id.

So far as I know, there is one and only one pitcher plant indigenous to our country.

Our pitcher plant is napenthis khasiana. I think the spe point of napenthis is different.

Is it the same which … has mentioned?

This was a cultivated plant.

…, thanks for the name of the one we find in India.

This should be Nepenthes alata or one of its hybrid, a native of Philippines.

Seen at the Flower Show last month.

Nepenthes species so far in efloraofindia

Is it N. khasiana?

This was a cultivated Species.

Could be Nepenthes alata?

Cant be sure but this looks like Nepenthes khasiana??

Adding more pictures from the same location.

Hope it helps.

You can try sending this to … I am sure he knows khasiana better.

Nepenthes also have lot of hybrids.

I find these closer to images at Nepenthes alata (as identified by …) compared to those at Nepenthes khasiana

I agree this is not khasiana.

Fits better with Nepenthes alata.

Belly is not so rounded in khasiana.

Belly has a kind of much angular bend on upper side in Nepenthes mirabilis.
