Nepenthes tentaculata Hook. f. (1873) |
Nepenthes tentaculata (Latin: tentacula = tentacles) is an intermediate to highland carnivorous pitcher plant with a very wide distribution across Borneo and Sulawesi. It grows at altitudes of 700-2400 m and produces attractive pitchers up to 30 cm in length. This species is most closely related to N. muluensis, N. hamata and N. murudensis. The largest and most impressive form grows on Gunung Mulu.
