Rather, N. gracilis is the basal lineage within a "N. mirabilis group", a clade that also includes N. bicalcarata, a group of species around N. tomoriana (several species from Sulawesi, Papua and New Caledonia), N. ampullaria, N. mirabilis and N. rafflesiana sensu lato. The contrast between molecular and morphological phylogenies implies that ...
