Species Summary

Description

Nepenthes diabolica, prior known under the ( “RED HAIRY HAMATA” / “RHH” ) Label

Discovered in 2004, and long known as “Red Hairy Hamata” (“RHH”), Related species, N. maryae with different uppers, similar lowers

The specific epithet "diabolica" is Latin for "diabolical" or "devilish" and refers to both the typical red coloration of the lower pitchers and their greatly enlarged peristome teeth

Traits and Characteristics

Characterized by an exceptionally toothy peristome and conspicuous, woolly pitcher indumentum.

Morphologically it is closest to N. hamata, the only other species from Sulawesi with a similarly elaborated peristome. though in breeding Diabolica traits seem more dominant in expression, typically N. hamata in other crosses would be dominant , which is an interesting behavioral trait for gene expression.

Habitat and Growth

Known only from a single mountain in Central Sulawesi, where it occurs at c. 2,200–2,300 m above sea level.

N. diabolica is one of the more sensitive species to grow in cultivation , it is easily stressed and sensitive to temperature fluctuations , more so if deficient in specific nutrients amplify this characteristic exponentially.

Specimens seem to be more tolerant of conditions if Iron, Magnesium and Boron is present for stabilization for growing out of its optimal temperature range.

Night drops are crucial for proper metabolic functions

Horticultural History

The species was known to botanists as early as 2005, Discovered by Ch'ien Lee and was stated to be anew form of N. hamata with an exceptionally dense indumentum. For years afterwards the taxon was informally known in cultivation as N. hamata "red hairy" or simply "red hairy hamata". Later it became known as Nepenthes ronchinii, in honor of Italian botanist Luigi Ronchini, before the taxon was formally described as Nepenthes diabolica in 2020.
