Probably one of the most common Pitcher Plant in Philippines, this is Nepenthes alata.
Saw them by the thousands during this hiking trip.

    True, but I can tell you that pretty much every species you post from your area is not at all common to people in most parts of the world. Posted 8 years ago

      You are right about that, Ferdy.
      I am trying to think now in the perspective that not many JD members are not from this part of the world :D Posted 8 years ago

The Nepenthes alata

''Nepenthes alata'' is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines. Like all pitcher plants, it is carnivorous and uses its nectar to attract insects that drown in the pitcher and are digested by the plant. It is highly polymorphic, and its taxonomy continues to be subject to revisions.
