Nepenthes angasanensis

A small highland pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, named after Puncak Angasan and recorded at 1400–3100 m. It spreads by offshoots from underground rhizomes, and some botanists think it may be a natural hybrid between N. densiflora and N. tobaica. It is rarely cultivated, and any plant should be grown as a cool highland Nepenthes.

Where it grows wild

A terrestrial pitcher plant of the Sumatran highlands, forming clumps from underground rhizomes. Its habitat is thinly documented; related Sumatran highland species grow in mossy montane forest, ridge-top scrub and open, stunted vegetation where they get bright light.

Reported at 1400–3100 m. Only one wild GBIF record exists and it carries no elevation.
