Heliamphora chimantensis

Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEL : Heliamphora chimantensis

Heliamphora chimantensis (after Chimanta Tepui) is a species of Marsh Pitcher Plant endemic to Chimanta Tepui in Venezuela. Interestingly, it is more closely related to the southern growing H. tatei and H. neblinae than any of the other species found in the Gran Sabana. All other species known from this region have between 10 and 15 anthers, while H. tatei, H. neblinae and H. chimantensis have around 20. However, the anthers of H. tatei and the closely related H. neblinae (once thought to be a variety of the former) are 7-9 mm long, while those of H. chimantensis only reach 5 mm in length.
