Nepenthes veitchii M Striped x villosa (Seed Grown) (Shipped Bare-Root)

This exceptional Borneo cross unites veitchii's legendary striped peristome with villosa's high-altitude robustness and compact pitcher morphology—combining the lowland striping brilliance with the montane (2,300m+) vigor that makes villosa so prized. Collectors pursue this hybrid for its potential to produce gloriously fat, deeply-colored pitchers with bold striping, inheriting Jeremiah Harris's selective breeding for spherical bodies and intense peristome character.
