| Nepenthes tentaculata Hook.f. (1873) |
Nepenthes tentaculata (pronounced /nəˈpɛnθiːz tɛnˈtækjuːˌlɑːtə/, from Latin: tentacula = tentacles), or the Fringed Pitcher-Plant,[1] is an intermediate to highland carnivorous pitcher plant with a very wide distribution across Borneo and Sulawesi. It grows at altitudes of 700-2550 m and produces attractive pitchers up to 30 cm in length.[2][3]
N. tentaculata belongs to what has been called the "Hamata group", which also includes four other closely related species from Borneo and Sulawesi: N. glabrata, N. hamata, N. muluensis, and N. murudensis.[4]
