A most unusual Male N. veitchii, 'Cobra' is named for its flared peristome that doesn't fold back fully over time after opening, giving it a Cobra Snake hood kind of feature. 'Cobra' is often used in hybrid breeding and some species horticulture crosses at Carnivero, and limitedly done M'1' x 'Cobra' in small batches via Mike Fallen.
Grex / Plant Information
Physical Traits
The main distinguishing trait is the forward flair of the specimen, some offspring exhibit this trait fully, partially or not at all.
The pitchers have a vibrant red body that ages to a yellow tone, with a intense striped peristome that attains a maroon shade with age.
Growing Conditions
Due to Bata Buli possible origins, its classified as a Highland specimen, but can grow as an intermediate. This is one the slowest growing N. veitchii subgroups
History in Cultivation
Believed to have originated into horticulture via an Asian nursery
Due to its traits and form being consistent with some Bata Buli - Bata Lawi specimens, it may have originated from that local in the Kelabit Highlands of Borneo.
It has been used in several crosses at Carnivero, including:
