Nepenthes glabrata (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz ɡˈlæbrɑːtə/, from Latin: glaber = bald) is a species of pitcher plant native to central Sulawesi. It grows in open, high forest at 1,600 to 2,000 m altitude.[1]
N. glabrata has dainty, colourful pitchers only reaching a few centimetres in height. The peristome is yellow, with a small oval mouth and lid. The leaves are very narrow and lance-shaped.
N. glabrata belongs to what has been called the "Hamata group", which also includes four other closely related species from Borneo and Sulawesi: N. hamata, N. muluensis, N. murudensis, and N. tentaculata.[2]
