Veitch Nurseries
However, dwindling interest in "Nepenthes" at the turn of the century saw the demise of the Veitch Nurseries and consequently the loss of several species and hybrids in cultivation, including "N. northiana" and "N. rajah". By 1905, the final "N. rajah" specimens from the Veitch nurseries were gone, as the cultural requirements of the plants proved too difficult to reproduce. The last surviving "N. rajah" in cultivation at this time was located at the National Botanic Gardens at Glasnevin in Ireland, however this soon perished also. It would be many years before "N. rajah" was reintroduced into cultivation.
