I received a _Nepenthes_ that a friend of mine originally received from the
Turnbull & Middleton expedition, from Sulawesii. The name of it was N. maxima
"mini", but after growing it for a while it dows not seem to be a N. maxima at
all. It is a very small plant, hence the qualifier name "mini", the
coloration scheme is very different from any maxima I have ever seen, with red
lines running down the side of the pitchers. From what I know of _N. maxima_
it always has a spur, but this one does not, and I have never seen the
pitchers more than 10cm long. I know that _N. maxima_ is very variable but
all the forms I have seen looked somewhat alike, except for this one. Are
there any more Nepenthes that people know of that come from Sulawesii? Could
this be a new species?
