Description:
Nepenthes burbidgeae is a tropical pitcher plant native to the mossy and montane forests of Sabah, Borneo, particularly around Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon. This species is known for its large, rounded pitchers that lack a constriction in the middle and feature a distinct keel and hooked appendage on the lid. It is a strong climber, with stems reaching up to 50 feet in length, and thrives in ultramafic soils. The plant is endangered and shares its habitat with other Nepenthes species, including N. rajah and N. tentaculata. Its pitchers are noted for their unique pink and red striping, and they have been traditionally used to stop external bleeding. Nepenthes burbidgeae is tolerant of a wide range of conditions but prefers cooler nighttime temperatures for optimal growth. It is a beautiful and elegant species, often grown as an intermediate or highland plant due to its specific environmental needs.
