Nepenthes veitchii ‘Jim Bockowski’ Submitted: 1 March 2019
Nepenthes veitchii ‘Jim Bockowski’ (Fig. 1) is an impressively large and vigorous example of the prostate form of Nepenthes veitchii. It a produces a beautiful golden-striped peristome and was one of the first “highland” N. veitchii introduced into cultivation back in the 1980’s. The original plant was seed grown by Richard Sivertsen in the early 1980’s. Jim Bockowski received a cutting of this plant in the late 1980’s and it grew into one of the largest sized N. veitchii in cultivation. This is a female plant.
Jim Bockowski was an extraordinary horticulturalist and intrepid botanical explorer. He had a deep love for Nepenthes (as well as many other carnivorous genera) and was involved with the international carnivorous plant community for over 40 years. Jim passed away last year and this cultivar is being named in his memory.
Nepenthes veitchii ‘Jim Bockowsk1’ should be reproduced only by vegetative means to ensure that its unique characteristics are maintained.
