Nepenthes nigra Nerz, Wistuba, Chi.C.Lee, Bourke, U.Zimm. & S.McPherson 2011
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes nigra is a tropical pitcher plant known from a number of mountains across Central Sulawesi, where it grows at elevations of 1,500–2,700 m (4,900–8,900 ft) above sea level. The specific epithet nigra refers to the dark colouration of the pitchers and stem. The species is closely related to N. hamata and N. tentaculata.
Nepenthes undulatifolia Nerz, Wistuba, U.Zimm., Chi.C.Lee, Pirade & Pitopang 2011
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes undulatifolia is a tropical pitcher plant known only from South East Sulawesi, where it grows at an elevation of around 1,800 m above sea level. The specific epithet undulatifolia refers to the wavy laminar margins of this species.
Nepenthes × bauensis Chi.C.Lee 2004
plant hybrid species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes × bauensis (; after Bau, Sarawak) is a natural hybrid involving N. gracilis and N. northiana. Nepenthes × bauensis is intermediate in appearance between its two parent species. It displays the clumping habit and vine growth of N. gracilis, but can be distinguished from that species on the basis of its larger leaves and stems. The influence of N. northiana is most obvious in the pitcher morphology. In particular, the peristome is wider than in N. gracilis and has scattered red bands. Pitchers are up to 15 cm high and may be pale green to purplish-red in colour. Like its parent
Nepenthes appendiculata Chi.C.Lee, Bourke, Rembold, W.Taylor & S.T.Yeo 2011
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes appendiculata is a tropical pitcher plant known only from the Hose Mountains of central Sarawak, Borneo, where it grows at elevations of 1450–1700 m above sea level. The species is characterised by an enlarged glandular appendage on the lower lid surface, for which it is named.
Nepenthes diabolica A.Bianchi, Chi.C.Lee, Golos, Mey, M.Mansur & A.S.Rob. 2020
plant species in the nepenthaceae family
Nepenthes diabolica is a tropical pitcher plant known only from a single mountain in Central Sulawesi, where it occurs at c. 2,200–2,300 m above sea level. It is characterised by an exceptionally developed peristome and conspicuous, woolly pitcher indumentum. Morphologically it is closest to N. hamata, the only other species from Sulawesi with a similarly elaborated peristome. The species was known to botanists as early as 2005, when Ch'ien Lee announced the discovery of a new form of N. hamata with an exceptionally dense indumentum. For years afterwards the taxon was informally known in
Nepenthes harauensis Hernawati, Satria & Chi.C.Lee 2022
