Natural Hybrids
A rosette plant (left) and a lower pitcher (right) of N. izumiae × N. jacquelineaeIn the wild, N. jacquelineae often occurs sympatrically with N. izumiae. It is thus not surprising that it occasionally hybridises with this species. Pitchers of N. izumiae × N. jacquelineae are reddish in colour and are usually dominated by characteristics of N. jacquelineae.
Specimens of a putative natural cross between N. dubia and N. jacquelineae have also been recorded.
