Sex: female
Origin: 5 km west of Trang, sea level, Thailand
Notes: Marcello Catalano says: “Of the 2 colonies of var. globosa that I found in Trang, this was the best one, with very variable plants and the most attractive pitchers. No other species were growing around, not even the typical variety of N. mirabilis. I collected seeds that I sent to some nurseries labeled as “Trang Bizarre”, as I still didn’t know how to classify this plant. Plus, I took some cuttings of the most attractive specimens (a, b, 8, 9). The other colony is in the Thung Khai park, where the plants are more similar to the typical variety, and where I never collected seeds or cuttings”. In the October 2008 this plant was crossed with MCb and the seeds were donated to the UKCPS. Photo by MC.

Origin: Phnom Bokor, about 1000 mt, Cambodia
Notes: Marcello Catalano says: “This is the largest and fastest seedling that grew out from the seeds sent to me by François Mey in 2008”. Photo by MC.
Sex:
Origin: Kuchè, Tak Bai, Narathiwat, sea level, Thailand
Notes: Marcello Catalano says: “When in 2008 I visited this large colony near Kuchè, in southern Thailand, I had to choose one specimen to take cuttings of. As N. mirabilis was also present, I didn’t collect seeds. I took a cutting of this particular plant because of the nice maroon stripes of its upper pitchers”. Photo by MC.

Sex: female
Origin: 10 km south of Chanà, Songhkla, sea level, Thailand
Notes: Marcello Catalano says: “In 2007 I found this little colony just a few hundred meters from the sea, behind some huts facing the main road. Just a few plants in a little savannah that survives rounded by numerous plantations. I took cuttings from – I think – three specimens (the following year, together with Stewart MacPherson, we also collected seeds from this same colony). This species is not so easy from cutting, and this plant is the only one that survived, proving its strength through many other proves too, like my not-so-easy growing conditions”.
Sex:
Origin: 30 km from Trat, sea level, Thailand
Notes: Marcello Catalano says: “In 2006 I found a very small colony under the shade of some trees, in a small savannah close to the main road. There were just about 15 plants, surviving in not very good conditions, because of the dry season and because of the deep shade. No other Nepenthes species around. None of the plants had seeds. In 2007 I collected some cuttings from that place (MC1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12), most of which survived and revealed to be very easy and fast growing. They all show the typical N. kampotiana shape and size of the pitchers, except MC1, which is a relative giant, the pitchers being 2-3 times bigger. In 2009 I visited that same area again, but the whole savannah had been destroyed and transformed into a large plantation”. Photo by MC.
