First carnivorous plant hybrid

Pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes were widely hybridized during the great Victorian stovehouse era. The earliest man-made cultivar on record was Nepenthes x dominii, first exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society show in South Kensington, London, UK, in June 1862, and reportedly still in cultivation to this day. It was a cross between N. rafflesiana and (most likely) N. gracilis cultivated by the British horticulturalist John Dominy at Veitch Nurseries in Exeter, Devon, UK, in the late 1850s.

Other early examples of Nepenthes hybrids are N. x chelsonii (1872) and N. x superba (1880).
