Heliamphora pulchella (Latin: pulchellus = pretty) is a species of Marsh Pitcher Plant endemic to the Chimanta group of tepuis in Venezuela. It is one of the smallest species and closely related to H. minor.
[edit] Infraspecific taxa
Two major variants of H. pulchella are known: the type variety, which bears conspicuous retentive hairs on the inner pitcher surface, and an incompletely diagnosed taxon from Amurí Tepui, which lacks these hairs.[1]
