Nepenthes bokorensis

A pitcher plant endemic to the Bokor plateau in Cambodia's Kampot Province, at 800–1080 m. It grows in seasonally dry upland scrub and stunted forest on sandy, acidic soil, alongside sundews and bladderworts. It needs bright light, warm-intermediate temperatures and a slightly drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Terrestrial in seasonally dry upland scrub and stunted lower montane forest under sparse tree cover. Exposed plants stay very stunted and may flower under 60 cm tall, while plants in partial shade grow taller. It grows with Drosera peltata, D. burmanni, bladderworts, grasses, shrubs and lithophytic orchids. Like other Indochinese Nepenthes it probably forms a well-developed rootstock.

Recorded from 800 to 1080 m on Mount Bokor. The measured sites are at about 920–950 m, matching the habitat.
