Nepenthes danseri Jebb & Cheek (1997) |
Nepenthes danseri (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz ˈdænsəraɪ/, after B. H. Danser, botanist) is a species of tropical pitcher plant. It is endemic to Halmahera, the largest of the Maluku Islands, and the northern coast of Waigeo Island.[1] N. danseri shares many morphological features with the widespread N. gracilis.
N. danseri most commonly inhabits open scrub or bare soils on ultramafic rock. Plants also occur in forest, but these do not produce pitchers, probably due to the high light requirements of this species. N. danseri has been recorded from sea-level to 300 m altitude.[1]
N. danseri has no known natural hybrids. No forms or varieties have been described.
