### General information Parents: - female: my [[Nepenthes x splendiana|N. x splendiana]] - male: the final clone that I retained of [[Nepenthes eymae x ephippiata|N. eymae x ephippiata]] Pollination occurred in 2016. As of July 2026, all the plants pictured below are still alive, 10 years later, except for Cyrus Exum's clone B. There is one published cultivar: [[Nepenthes 'Pennywise']] Read [Gianne's brief history of this hybrid here](https://www.nepenthesdiary.com/nepenthes-x-splendiana-x-eymae-x-ephippiata.html). It's excellently illustrated. One of her clones can be seen in this [Instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdlpm3BpJeS/?img_index=1&igsh=MW8zMTQzYjRqYXltcg%3D%3D) as well. She obtained it from [[Joshua Ritts]] in 2020.

Female, at least somewhat fertile when crossed with [[Nepenthes veitchii|veitchii]]. If I didnt' know better, the uppers might suggest distant [[Nepenthes platychila|platychila]] ancestry. He donated a tray of seedlings to Seattle Central College greenhouse in 2017. It's not known whether any survived. ##### 2022-05-14 ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-05-14b.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-05-14d.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-05-14c.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-05-14a.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-05-14e.jpg|300]] ##### 2022-12-09 ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-12-09a.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-12-09b.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2022-12-09c.jpg|200]] ##### 2023-01-25 ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2023-01-25a.jpg|200]] ![[xSD_eymaeXephip_JR_2023-01-25b.jpg|200]] --- ### Hawken Carlton's clone The pictures below are from [[Hawken Carlton]] of [[Carlton Carnivores]], posted on Instagram 2026-06-17. Unlike the other clones we have photos of, this one looks remarkably like [[Nepenthes x splendiana|N. x splendiana]].

As of 2026-07-06, clones A & C are still alive, but clone B eventually succumbed to the heat of Florida summers. A & C both reached maturity in Florida in lowland conditions. #### Clone A ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_07.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_06.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_01.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_05.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_02.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_03.jpg|200]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneA_08.jpg|200]] #### Clone B (now extinct) ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_01.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_02.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_03.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_04.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_05.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_CE_cloneB_06.jpg|250]] --- ### Lynne Easton's clone Lynne Easton obtained seed from me back in 2016 and grew out the plant below. By 2026 it had flowered twice (male) and been cut back twice. It seems to be a vigorous grower, but the leaf span is still a manageable size. #### Lowers ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo6.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo5.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo2.jpg|250]] #### Uppers ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo3.jpg|250]] ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo4.jpg|250]] #### Whole plant ![[N_xSD_eymaeXephip_LE_photo1.jpg|300]] --- [[Nepenthes I've grown]] | [[My hybrids]] | [[Nepenthes]]
