Nepenthes talangensis

Nepenthes talangensis is a highland species from Indonesia. Its pitchers are rather small. Most are only about 2 inches, but depending on the environment, they can get to 4 inches. The pitchers are very unusual. The lower pitchers are short and funnel-shaped with a relatively wide maroon lip. Dark red speckles adorn the outside of the pitcher. To increase the insect-capturing effectiveness of its dainty little pitchers, each pitcher is filled with an unusually thick, stringy, slimy fluid. More
