New additions to my Nepenthes collection
Nepenthes Thorelii x Hamata Christian Klein
N. Thorelii (Lowland) is known with certainty only from Vietnam, where it's found in seasonally dry savannah grassland from sea level to 656 ft elevation. N. Thorelii was thought to be extinct until November 2009 when photographs surfaced on the internet which appeared to show N. thorelii in its natural habitat in Vietnam. In February 2010, Charles Clarkeand François Mey travelled to the site where the photographs had been taken, as well as to the type location, but were unable to locate any remaining plants of this species.
In August 2011 N. Thorelii was rediscovered within a military zone in Tây Ninh Province, Vietnam. The so-called Sữa Đá population was found by a team including François Mey, Alastair Robinson and Luu Hong Truong, curator of the VNM Herbarium in Ho Chi Minh City, and was estimated to number fewer than 100 individuals. The discovery was announced online by Alastair Robinson on August 6, 2011.
N. Hamata (Highland) is endemic to Sulawesi, where it grows at elevations of 4,600–8,200 feet. They are known for their toothy peristomes. It is listed as Vunerable by IUCN.
This plant prefers lowland conditions, which means that it should be kept around 80-90°F during the day and 65-70°F at night with a very high relative humidity.

I won this sweet little plant on an online auction at
https://nativeexoticsonline.com to benefit Meadowview Biological Research Station who's goal is to "preserve and restore a part of our natural bog heritage by returning the endangered Yellow Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia flava, and the Purple Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia purpurea, to their historic ranges in Virginia and Maryland".

Nepenthes Gymnamphora x Tenius Christian Klein
This is the purple form from Gunung Talakmau in Sumatra, single clone.
N. Tenius (Intermediate) pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. The species was first collected in 1957, from a remote mountain in the western part of the island. It remained undescribed until 1994, and was only rediscovered in the wild in 2002. Prior to this, N. tenuis was known solely from a single photograph and dried herbarium specimen. The only known population occurs at an elevation of 3,280–3,937 ft. It is listed as endangered by IUCN.
This plant prefers intermediate to highland conditions, which means that it should be kept around 73-83°F during the day and 53-63°F at night with a very high relative humidity.
