Nepenthes flava Wistuba, Nerz & A.Fleischm. (2007) |
Nepenthes flava (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz flɑːvə/, from Latin: flava = yellow) is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to northern Sumatra. The species entered cultivation several years prior to being described and was known as "Nepenthes spec. nov. Sumatra".
N. flava is closely related to both N. inermis and N. jacquelineae. However, it cannot be a natural hybrid between these species as it does not occur sympatrically with them.[1]
[edit] Natural hybrids
The following natural hybrids involving N. flava have been recorded.
- N. flava × N. ovata[1]
- N. flava × N. rhombicaulis[1]
