I think if one day we can make a hybrid of the two, we may finally have a true reptilian looking nepenthes

Fascinating, really fascinating.
Is the fork a consistent characteristic, though. The first pitcher seems to have an appendage towards the front of the lid, but not forked?

i'm pretty sure its not a hybrid, as the pitcher shape is pretty consistent, and there were no other nepenthes with that size or shape pitcher around. we thought it may be spathulata or Singalana, but none were found at the site, the other nepenthes close by was Dubia, a good 100m higher, and its a new location for dubia |

I think nepenthes evolution has gone to places which we have never been formally introduced to. We marveled at N. bicalcarata, yet who knew that they'd be much more to the fang, with tongue-like appendages, forked tongued appendage and who knows wthat else. How so very fascinating! M a cross with bical would be cool, with the "fangs" and "tongue" present  |

to tell you the truth I was so tempted of just cutting the whole tree down to get the seeds, but that would require a whole day of machete action:P
