Description: A new species originating from the highlands of North Sumatera. The broad ovoid lower pitchers can reach over 20 cm in length and are covered with dark purple spots and a coating of fine wooly hairs. Upper pitchers are similarly colored, but are smaller and more funnel-shaped. It appears to be related to N. bongso, and shares with that species similar stem and leaf shape as well as consistently having peltate tendril attachments. An unusual feature of this species is the complete lack of wings in the lower pitchers. Cultivation recommendations: Best treated as a typical highland Nepenthes with cool temperatures and high humidity. See also: How to Grow Nepenthes. Product Code: NE-77 In Stock $40.00
