Nepenthes 'Kalamity' is a cultivar of a complex manmade hybrid involving N. ampullaria, N. gracilis, N. khasiana, N. rafflesiana, N. ventricosa, and a plant identified as N. anamensis.[note a] It was bred by Bruce Lee Bednar and Orgel Clyde Bramblett in 1988.[1][2] This cultivar name is not established as it was published without a description, violating Article 24.1 of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.[2] It first appeared in print in the March 1994 issue of the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter as "x kalamity".[1]

Notes

[edit]
a.^ Nepenthes anamensis is now considered a heterotypic synonym of N. smilesii, but, like other Indochinese species of the "N. thorelii aggregate", it was the subject of considerable horticultural confusion in the past.[3][4][5]
