N. northiana, upper pitcher, in habitat   Nepenthes northiana  
N. northiana grows exclusively on limestone cliffs at around 300m elevation in the Bau region of Borneo near Kuching. This species has beautiful large pitchers and leaves and first came to the attention of botanists through a painting by Marrianne North, hence its name. Lower pitchers are often suspended on unusually long tendrils. Though not a plant for beginners, N. northiana can be grown successfully in cultivation given the right lowland conditions.
