Nepenthes × cincta

Nepenthes × cincta is a natural hybrid between N. albomarginata and N. northiana.
Nepenthes × cincta is a rare plant and, due to the localised distribution of N. northiana, only grows at a few sites in Bau, Sarawak, usually on a substrate of limestone. N. × cincta is one of only three known natural hybrids involving N. northiana, the others being N. × bauensis and a cross with N. mirabilis.
The traits of N. albomarginata are very dominant in this hybrid; the wide flared peristome of its larger parent species is almost completely lost. Pitchers are narrowly infundibulate throughout and range in colouration from cream to dusky purple with red or black spots.
