Pure or Hybrid:		Pure

Type:			Lowland - Grows below 3000 feet above
			sea level.  They experience hot days,
			warm   nights  and   continuous  high
			humidity!

Origin:			Sarawak, Borneo

Adult Pitcher:		Near 6" tall.

Lighting:		Needs  bright  light,  but not direct
			sun light.  If kept in  a greenhouse,
			it requires 50% shade cloth.

Watering:		Water from above and allow the excess
			to  completely drain.  Water daily in
			this method.  Does  not  like  to  be
			kept in standing water!

Comments:		One of the most amazing of the plants
			because  of its  two "fangs".   These
			are  believed to direct insects to go
			directly  over the pitcher  to obtain
			the  nectar on them  which makes them
			fall into  the pitcher for digestion.
			Its  also  been  suggested  that  the
			fangs  help stop small  mammals  from
			stealing  insects within the pitcher.
			This  plant is  a scrambler and  each
			leaf can reach 2 feet long.

Where I got it:		Malesiana Tropicals
