List of Nepenthes natural hybrids
Encyclopedia
This list of Nepenthes natural hybrids is a comprehensive listing of all recorded natural hybrids involving species of the carnivorous plant
genus
Nepenthes
. Hybrids that are not endemic
to a given region are marked with an asterisk.
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
Nepenthes hurrelliana
and N. murudensis
are of putative hybrid origin, but are considered species by most taxonomists, as they form stable, fertile populations independent of their original parent species. The same could be said for stable hybrids such as N × kinabaluensis
. Indeed, species status has been proposed for this taxon in the past.
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
.
In addition, certain plants from Mount Hamiguitan
may represent crosses involving N. hamiguitanensis
, N. micramphora
, N. mindanaoensis
, and N. peltata
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
Nepenthes petiolata
may itself have evolved from a cross between N. alata
and N. truncata
.
Plants from Mount Hamiguitan
that were originally thought to represent the natural hybrid N. micramphora
× N. peltata
are now recognised as belonging to a distinct species of possible hybridogenic origin, N. hamiguitanensis
.
and Singapore
.
Two natural hybrids have been recorded from Singapore: N. × hookeriana and N. × trichocarpa
. As such, all three species from Singapore are known to hybridise.
In Nepenthes of Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia
, Charles Clarke
lists the natural hybrid N. gracillima
× N. macfarlanei
. At the time of the book's publication, N. alba
was considered a heterotypic synonym of N. gracillima. Since then, however, N. alba has been elevated to a species. As both N. alba and N. gracillima occur on Mount Tahan
, from which Clarke recorded the hybrid, it is unknown which taxon was involved in the cross.
. For the purpose of this list, the area encompasses Cambodia
, Laos
, Myanmar
, Thailand
, and Vietnam
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
and the Maluku Islands
.
Endemic species with no known natural hybrids:
.
Complex hybrids involving all three species are also common.
All three species from Australia are known to hybridise.
Of these, the only species that could conceivably hybridise in the wild are N. madagascariensis
and N. masoalensis
. Although the ranges of the two species used to meet near Cape Masoala, no natural hybrids have ever been recorded.
Carnivorous plant
Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants appear adapted to grow in places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients, especially nitrogen, such as acidic...

Endemic (ecology)
Endemism is the ecological state of being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, all species of lemur are endemic to the...
