The petioles are ribbed and red on young plants

Incorporating selected Indochinese species adds a new color pallette for Nepenthes hybridization

It produces squat richly colored pitchers and grows best as a highland plant

Other greges of this cross take on the robust shape of sibuyanensis with the extremely flared peristome and red color from jacquelineae
