Where it grows wild

It grows in open coastal savannah and grassland on sandy soil. Related Indochinese species such as N. suratensis survive dry-season fires on a thick rootstock, and N. andamana probably grows the same way. Lower pitchers are ovate and up to 16 cm tall. Upper pitchers are tubular and often yellow to white outside.

Sea level to about 50 m.
