| N. × trusmadiensis lower pitcher |
| This hybrid is very interesting indeed! It is a cross between N. lowii and N. macrophylla, and displays some of the best qualities of its parents. Lower pitchers typically exhibit some of the "hairs" under the operculum associated with N. lowii, and upper pitchers display the flared opening so characteristic of that species. However, like N. lowii, this hybrid is slow-growing. |
