Comments:		Found  on Luzon  in the  Philippines.
			This  species is characterized by its
			smooth swollen pitchers, often with a
			narrowed 'waist'. A number of variet-
			ies exist and pitcher colour can vary
			from yellow/green to red. This is one
			of  the   easiest  of  all  Nepenthes
			species to cultivate; it can be grown
			either as a lowland or highland plant.
			The waxy texture of the leaves enable
			it to perform well despite  fluctuat-
			ions in humidity. Prefers very bright
			light,  especially if  cultivated  in
			highland conditions.

Where I got it:		From a friend in Florida.
