Nepenthes klossii

Family: Nepenthaceae, Genus: Nepenthes

Description:

Nepenthes klossii is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to New Guinea, discovered during the Wollaston Expedition of 1912-1913. This scrambling vine can climb several meters, producing pitchers up to 10 inches high with a distinctive red speckled appearance and a purple lid. The plant thrives in high-altitude swampy forests and grasslands, employing its domed pitchers to attract insects. It is closely related to other Nepenthes species like N. stenophylla and N. veitchii, and is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
