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.

Famous quotes containing the word natural:
“The superstition respecting power and office is going to the ground. The stream of human affairs flows its own way, and is very little affected by the activity of legislators. What great masses of men wish done, will be done; and they do not wish it for a freak, but because it is their state and natural end.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
