Formerly aenigma
This is a recently described species from Luzon, Philippines, which was discovered in 2014. At the time of writing, we are not sure as to whether or not this is a distinctive species. From what we can see, it resembles Nepenthes sibuyanensis with long burrowing tendrils and habitat photos also appear much more like Nepenthes sibuyanensis than Nepenthes ventricosa, which is a common species in Luzon. There is a lot of rumours this is also call Nepenthes barcelonae. Whatever it is, it's interesting!
The species is notable for growing among dense vegetation in deep shade.
Description: This species from Luzon, Philippines, was discovered in 2014. At the time of writing, (March 2021) there is still occasional controversy amongst some taxonomists as to whether it’s a distinct species, or a form of N. ventricosa. We show photos here which illustrate that it seems very different to N. ventricosa in several important regards. It forms long burrowing tendrils in the manner of N. sibuyanensis but is much more vigorous. Unlike N. sibuyanensis, which only usually bears no more than 3 pitchers at any time, N. aenigma is an exceptionally prolific produce of pitchers. When grown to a large size, it forms a most unusual array of pitchers and extremely long tendrils.
We are of the opinion that due to the regular typhoons that sweep its natural habitat in Luzon, Philippines, it attempts to anchor itself to whatever it can in order not to be blown away. This may be the reason for both the burrowing nature of tendrils and the fact that they reach such extreme lengths as they attempt to reach an anchor point. The very large number of curls in the tendrils may be indicative of the strength with which it will attach itself to branches of trees it may come into contact with.
In May 2021 new photos were added showing upper pitchers with an exceptionally large number of curls in every tendril. Plant with be shipped with roots wrapped in sphagnum moss wrapped with paper towel, in a sealed bag or container before boxing up.
