Natural Hybrids
Natural hybrids involving N. burbidgeae appear to be relatively rare and only four have been recorded to date. Three of these (crosses with N. edwardsiana, N. fusca, and N. tentaculata) have received little attention in the scientific literature, but N. burbidgeae × N. rajah has been described as N. × alisaputrana and is famous for producing huge pitchers rivalling those of N. rajah in size.

Famous quotes containing the word natural:
“Criticism is infested with the cant of materialism, which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that some men, namely, poets, are natural sayers, sent into the world to the end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is action, but who quit to imitate the sayers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
