Description:
Nepenthes macrophylla is a rare and critically endangered carnivorous plant native to Mount Trusmadi in Malaysian Borneo. This climbing plant can reach over 30 feet in length and is known for its robust, woody pitchers that can grow up to 14 inches high. It thrives in the mossy montane forests at high altitudes, experiencing significant temperature fluctuations. The plant forms a mutualistic relationship with the mountain treeshrew, which aids in its nutrient acquisition. Its habitat is threatened by over-collection and environmental damage, making conservation efforts crucial. The plant's pitchers are notable for their toothy and colorful appearance, and it is closely related to N. edwardsiana and N. villosa.
