Description:
Nepenthes eymae is a unique carnivorous plant endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, known for its dimorphic pitchers. The lower pitchers are robust with a broad, colorful rim, while the upper pitchers are wine glass-shaped with a reduced lid. This climbing plant can reach up to 26 feet in height and thrives in highland conditions at elevations of 3,280 to 6,560 feet. It produces thick, sticky fluid in its pitchers to trap small flying insects. Discovered in 1938 and formally described in 1984, it is closely related to N. maxima. The plant's ecology is interesting and sometimes contentious, as it adapts to various ecological niches on different mountains. Its conservation status is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List, indicating it is not currently at risk of extinction.
