Pure or Hybrid:		Pure

Type:			Lowland - Grows below 3000 feet above
			sea level.  They experience hot days,
			warm   nights  and   continuous  high
			humidity!

Origin:			Bau, Sarawak

Adult Pitcher:		Near 14" tall.

Lighting:		Needs  bright  light,  but not direct
			sun light.  If kept in  a greenhouse,
			it requires 50% shade cloth.

Watering:		Water from above and allow the excess
			to  completely drain.  Water daily in
			this method.  Does  not  like  to  be
			kept in standing water!

Comments:		This plant is probably the most known
			due to  the  painting  from  Marianne
			North.   It  is  very  large, bronzy-
			green in color and  heavily splotched
			with  red.  The  mouth is  large  and
			slanted  and  the  peristome  is very
			flared and red in color with purplish
			stripes.   This   species  prefers  a
			medium  which  is  more  alkaline.  A
			good  medium  is  two  parts   course
			vermiculite  to  one  part  each   of
			perlite, pumice and sand.  Absolutely
			avoid  peat moss  and sphagnum  which
			stunts it growth.
