Nepenthes spec. nov. Sumatra

Lower pitchers of the new species in habitat


Pitchers of the new species in habitat


This plant is notable for the intense yellow upper pitchers. Similarly as in N. jacquelinae the peristome is very prominent, however it is not flat but rounded with many wrinkles. The lid is more round as well and often is reddish, which makes a nice contrast to the pitcher color.
