Description:
Nepenthes ovata is a tropical pitcher plant native to the Barisan Range in Sumatra. It is known for its robust lower pitchers with wide, flared peristomes that darken as they mature, and colorful upper pitchers with striping. This highland species grows as a climber, with stems reaching over 15 feet in length, and thrives in mid-montane forests. The plant is epiphytic, meaning it grows on other plants rather than in soil. Its lower pitchers are ovate, a feature that inspired its name, and can reach up to 10 inches in height. The upper pitchers are cylindrical to infundibular in shape. Nepenthes ovata shares its habitat with several other Nepenthes species and is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
