Description: Carniv.Pl.Soc.J.(UK) 29:7 (2007)

"The most notable characteristic of this cultivar is the darkly coloured pitchers. I refer to them as black, which is possibly what some might call artistic licence, but but they are certainly as black as many darkly coloured plants of popular garden plant species given the same description; they are probably best described as dark purple. I find it almost impossible to capture accurately the colour in any photograph, although photos give an impression of the colour, hence I will refer to colour using standard colours from the RHS colour chart. To be specific they correspond to the RHS mini colour chart colour RHS 200A (dark brown) when fully coloured. See Figure 1 which shows a fully coloured pitcher. In contrast my "Dudley Watts" clone has pitcher colour corresponding to RHS 187A (dark purple brown). The peristome of [Cephalotus 'Eden Black ' {S.Morley}] darkens quickly in full sun and the rest of the pitcher follows suit, with the pitcher eventually assuming virtually the same colour as the peristome; this is unlike any other [Cephalotus {Labill.}] I grow, where the pitchers are usually a hue lighter than the peristome. The dark colour spreads to both the outer and inner surfaces of the lid, even suffusing the windows with colour. The inner collar of the pitcher also becomes a dull purple colour in parts. The pitchers are on the large side, and are at least as big as my "Dudley Watts" pitchers at 5 cm, although they are getting bigger every year; the plant produced flower buds in 2005 for the first time, but is possibly not yet fully mature. The pitchers are elegant, long, relatively smooth and more-or-less straight-sided, lacking very crinkly pitchers characterising some of the clones available in cultivation. They have a well-formed peristome and a wide mouth; here they differ from the "Dudley Watts" clone which is noticeably constricted towards the mouth with a chunky, thickened peristome. The plant is rather shy in producing non-carnivorous leaves, a trait it shares with my "vigorous clumping" clone, which is a super characteristic for the grower but not terribly conductive to propagation from leaf cuttings (non-carnivorous leaves are usually easier to root)!"

Standard: Carniv.Pl.J.(UK)29:8, fig.1 (2007)

Propagation: vegetatively via leaf or rhizome cuttings or by division

Etymology: after originator's house name and pitcher colour

Description: Carniv.Pl.Newslett.29:119 (2000)

"This particular clone produces pitcher leaves up to 6 (-8) cm (2.5-3 inches) in length and about 2.5 cm (1 inch) in width. It usually takes about three years for plantlets grown from leaf cuttings to reach maturity and full size. (...) Since at maturity this clone reaches much larger sizes than normal [Cephalotus {Labill.}] plants in cultivation, I am establishing it as a cultivar (...)."
