Nepenthes burkei

Nepenthes burkei, named after British plant collector David Burke, is a tropical pitcher plant native to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, where it grows at an elevation of 1100–2000 m.[2] It is very closely related to N. sibuyanensis and N. ventricosa. It has only recently entered wider cultivation.

Natural hybrids

gollark: ... do they *have* any AMD ones?
gollark: Anyway, do you want a particularly portable laptop or do you not care much?
gollark: (or better)
gollark: The boost clocks are higher though, so it's probably about the same on single-core tasks.
gollark: Look at the i5-7200U vs i5-8250U. They have the same 15W TDP (not that Intel make that very meaningful) but the 7200U has half the cores and higher base clocks.
