Nepenthes alisaputrana

A natural hybrid of N. rajah and N. burbidgeae from ultramafic slopes of Mount Kinabalu around 2,000 m. It is a strong climber with large upper pitchers and needs true highland conditions: mild days, cool nights and constant moisture.

Where it grows wild

Stunted, open scrub over serpentine (ultramafic) soils, growing among its parent species; mostly terrestrial and scrambling up through low vegetation.

Around 1,900–2,000 m; the climate site was modelled at 2,765 m, which is too high.
