Heliamphora chimantensis (Chimantá Massif Marsh Pitcher) Wistuba, Carow & Harbarth 2002
perennial plant species in the sarraceniaceae family
Heliamphora chimantensis is a species of marsh pitcher plant endemic to the Chimantá Massif in Venezuela. It has been recorded from Apacará Tepui and Chimantá Tepui. The species is thought to be more closely related to Heliamphora tatei and Heliamphora neblinae than to other species found in the Gran Sabana region. Like other members of the genus Heliamphora, it survives in nutrient-poor environments by capturing and digesting insects using specialized pitcher-shaped leaves.
Nepenthes ovata Nerz & Wistuba 1994
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes ovata is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra. The specific epithet ovata is Latin for "ovate" and refers to the shape of the lower pitchers.

perennial plant species in the sarraceniaceae family
Heliamphora glabra (Latin: glaber = bald) is a species of marsh pitcher plant native to Serra do Sol in Venezuela. It was for a long time considered a form of H. heterodoxa, but has recently been raised to species rank.
Heliamphora exappendiculata (Chimantá-aprada Marsh Pitcher) (Maguire & Steyerm.) Nerz & Wistuba 2006
perennial plant species in the sarraceniaceae family
Heliamphora exappendiculata (Latin: ex = without, appendicula = small appendage) is a species of marsh pitcher plant native to the Chimantá and Aprada Massifs of Bolívar state, Venezuela. It was for a long time considered a variety of H. heterodoxa, but has recently been raised to species rank. Pitchers collect insects on flattened pitcher mouths which function as 'landing platforms' upon which prey falls from surrounding vegetation. Also, the pitcher shape effectively collects leaf litter and organic debris which may serve as additional source of nutrition for plants, similarly to H. ionasi.
Drosera solaris A.Fleischm., Wistuba & S.McPherson 2007
plant species in the droseraceae family

Heliamphora uncinata Nerz, Wistuba & A.Fleischm. 2009
plant species in the sarraceniaceae family
Heliamphora uncinata is a species of Marsh Pitcher Plant endemic to Venezuela. This species of carnivorous plant is known as a pitcher plant. Individuals use tube like leaves to trap insects that slip into the bottom. At the bottom of the "pitcher" there are digestive juices which slowly digest the prey item to give the plant additional nutrients. The pitchers of this species are around 25–35 cm long, and are 8–10 cm wide at the opening. The pitcher mouth is circular in shape and the back is raised to form the lid. It is known only from the type collection, which was made in a narrow canyon
Heliamphora huberi (Huber's Marsh Pitcher) A.Fleischm., Wistuba & Nerz 2009
plant species in the sarraceniaceae family
Heliamphora huberi is a species of Marsh Pitcher Plant endemic to the Chimantá Massif in Venezuela, where it grows at elevations of 1850–2200 m in a variety of habitats. It has thus far been recorded from Angasima-tepui, Apacará-tepui, Amurí-tepui, Acopán-tepui, and the border of Torono- and Chimantá-tepui. Due to its intermediate appearance between species related to H. minor and H. heterodoxa, it is suspected to be of hybridogenic origin.
