Dear Tom,


Finally, someone has posted photos of these types and I can see details of
the plants there in the photos!!! Thanks, Tom.

Well, in the photos Tom posted, the plants on the sheets do look rather like
the plant I have been cultivating as _N. thorelii_, which also seems to be a
match to the plants Tom has been photographing and calling _N. thorelii_.
They don't seem to match the new species _N. globosa_ (=N. "Viking")-it has
wider leaves and different pitchers, right Tom?

It has been mentioned by several people, including Dr. Jan Schlauer, that
_N. globosa_ and _N. thorelii_ could be could be con-specific. So what do
you all think? Do these sheets show the new species _N. globosa_?

On the other hand, do you think the photos of the type could or could not be
a match for the plant shown in the link below? (find more links to close-ups
within the photo)

Hi, I posted some pics of N. thorelii as herbarium specimens I made at
www.groups.yahoo.com/group/nepenthesclub.
These are at the end of the misc file.
You may have to join the group to acess the photos.
There were also some current pics of N. sp "Viking" that I have.

Truly, Tom
