Nepenthes ‘Gaya’ is a complex hybrid between Nepenthes khasiana x (ventricosa x maxima). It grows beautifully coloured, crimson-striped pitchers and has quite a compact growth habit.
Genus epithet 'Nepenthes' derived from Greek terms 'ne' (not) and 'penthos' (sorrow, grief), meaning 'no sorrow' or 'banished sorrow', as based on the ancient Greek name for an antidepressant drug called 'Nepenthe' which drives away all sorrows by the means of forgetfulness, and used here in connection with the reported medicinal qualities of some Nepenthes species.
