Nepenthes hurrelliana
Encyclopedia : N : NE : NEP : Nepenthes hurrelliana
Nepenthes hurrelliana (after Andrew Hurrell, botanist) is highland species of pitcher plant from Borneo. It is found in northern Sarawak, Brunei and southwestern Sabah. N. hurrelliana produces attractive funnel-shaped pitchers. It is of putative hybrid origin; the two original parent species are thought to be N. fusca and N. veitchii. A thick indumentum of rusty-brown hairs covers the entire plant, a characteristic inherited from the latter.
