Nepenthes mikei
Nepenthes mikei is a rare carnivorous plant endemic to Sumatra, known for its black mottled pitchers. It grows as a climbing plant up to 7 meters tall and is found in montane mossy forests. This species is vulnerable due to habitat loss and over-collection.
Nepenthes surigaoensis
Nepenthes surigaoensis is a unique climbing plant native to the Philippine island of Mindanao, thriving at elevations between 2,600 and 3,900 feet. It is distinguished by its long tendrils and cylindrical pitchers, which can grow up to 9.5 inches tall. The plant's leaves are notable for their strong decurrent nature and can vary in shape from linear to slightly lanceolate. Its pitchers, covered in coarse orange to brown hairs, can turn completely red as they age. This species was first described in 1915 and rediscovered in 2007. It grows in the lower montane forests under shady conditions and has no known natural hybrids. The plant's conservation status has not been thoroughly assessed, but it is closely related to N. merrilliana, differing mainly in its leaf and pitcher characteristics.
Nepenthes sibuyanensis
Nepenthes sibuyanensis is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to the slopes of Mt. Guiting-Guiting in the Philippines. It is known for its large, waxy pitchers that range in color from cream to iridescent red, with distinctive toothy peristomes. This plant is adaptable to various conditions and produces lower pitchers when in contact with a surface. The upper pitchers are less common and lighter in color. It is a weak climber with stems reaching up to 5 feet long and has thin, leathery leaves. The plant is endemic to Sibuyan Island and was first described in 1998. It grows at altitudes between 3,900 and 5,900 feet and is considered vulnerable due to its limited distribution. The plant's seeds are unique, lacking the papery ends typical of other Nepenthes species, which aids in local dispersion.
Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa
Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa is a unique carnivorous plant native to small areas in Thailand, known for its globose pitchers that vary in color from green to red. It grows in flooded or depressed areas and is best suited for lowland conditions.
