Description
[edit]This perennial carnivorous tropical plant is classified as a Lowland, Intermediate, and sometimes even Highland, due to its Highland and Lowland ancestry. It produces peculiar pale green pitchers with red-brown speckles and an almost vertical mouth with a dark reddish-brown peristome. These pitchers can reach a height up to a foot 25–30 centimetres (9.8–11.8 in).
