Nepenthes edwardsiana
Encyclopedia : N : NE : NEP : Nepenthes edwardsiana
Nepenthes edwardsiana (after George Edwards, Governor of the Crown Colony of Labuan) is a species of pitcher plant found only on Mount Kinabalu and neighbouring Mount Tambuyukon in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. It is perhaps the most spectacular of all Nepenthes species, having the most highly developed peristome of any species in the genus together with N. hamata. It is also notable for producing some of the largest pitchers - up to 50 cm high and 15 cm wide.
